Your Sunny Day

[Waverly]

Yeah, why is that misty cool weather so much more enjoyable in Scotland? I guess because if we were there we'd be having wee drams o' whiskey and lots of vacation dollars to spend with the prospect of the sunny ol' USA to return to in about two weeks! That, and they have castles. Castles make up for alot of yucky weather.

Land of enchantment....ahhh! We could all use some baking desert heat about right now, Corsair! Can you help???

Castles make up for a lot of yucky anything! I would love to live someplace like that - though I have always wondered how I would take the weather there. Maybe there rain and mist is somehow different. It is to be expected so isn't as bad?

Well, our flawlessly sunny day didn't turn out quite so sunny but it was really nice to have warm, dry weather to ride!

My ride partner and I had loni0908k along with us for the ride! It was sooo cool to actually meet one of the TE members in person. And we all survived our 75+ mile ride (a first for all of us). Now we just have to do it two days in a row next month. Are there enough aspirins and energy bars in the world to do the job?

Especially since our favorite ice cream shop opens next week-end. I'm dreaming of almond joy ice cream ...

Almond joy ice cream? MMMMMM!! How many miles do I have to ride to get a scoop of that as a reward, BC?

Nuthatch ... it is so sinful (one of those ice creams that probably has 38% butterfat) ... my theory is any amount of biking time spent working off Almond Joy ice cream (from the ice cream shop in Elcho, WI) is better than sitting around thinking how good that second scoop was!

Awesome on the week-end ride! I hope those of us who reside in the midwest can pick a date/time for a TE members ride.

Since you survived the 75+ mile ride I know you can definatley 'bank that ride' towards almond joy ice cream.

Feeling so much better having confessed to that double scoop

Hey Yellow, cheer up, you could live in the Northeast.
The weather page for those of us in Massachusetts says rain or showers for the next 8 days. And its cold!!! It feels more like March here than May. This has been the coldest, wettest spring I can remember in a long time.
I just had to post because I know CorsairMac will come back and tell me how gorgeous it is where she is.

Yellow, you get enough sun yesterday? With my sunscreen applier and official nag out of state, I rode 105 miles in 3 days without any. I am officially fried. Just visited Jason at the shop (took him my bike for shipping) and he sold me some Kinesys 30 Kids' formula (no adult stuff for me).

V, I decided to forego REI as Oregon and no sales tax are in my very near future.

Hunny, no sales tax and the Pearl Izumi outlet store! Yeah baby!

So my sunny day? A little cool, occasionally windy, but sunny enough that I have a sunburn on the part in my hair where my helmet has a vent. Oh well, pigtails do prevent helmet hair. Had a great rolly polly ride through Sisters, whizzing along with the road not too far from the trail, feeling bad for all the poor people stuck in their cars, not having half as much fun as me. Okay, not as bad for the people driving home the the Pickett's Charge stage race.

Spring is having a hard time here, probably because we got winter off. Bah!

love and cookies

I am so bummed that the LLBean outlet store closed.

However, how's that little jump off the canal bank on the Sisters' loop? Wheeeee!
