Sorry about your kidney stone, Karen. That makes complaining about the weather seem trite. But like you say, it might be good for getting some cool bike presents for sympathy...
When it rains at this time of year, I go to the gym. I can't bring myself to do a spin class during the normal cycling season unless it's been a few days since I've ridden. Saturday we went to a pilates class and warmed up on the treadmill with a short run. I will ride if it's just sprinkling, but the winds today stopped us from going out. We decided to hike in the Delany Reservation in Stow, about 2 miles from my house. It was really nice and we found some good trails for mountain biking. I went out Friday after work and the winds just sucked the energy out of me. I am 7 miles short of my 500 mile goal that I thought I would reach this week. But then I reflected on the fact that last year on Mother's Day, we were riding in Concord and ended up in a soaking rain, with a temp. of 48. The next weekend was 95.
