April 7 rides

Melalvai my thoughts and prayers are with your niece and your family. I hope she heals quickly.

Chicago - the Horsey Hundred is a lot of fun. You guys will be treated to some beautiful scenery. I understand they have changed the century route so I can't tell you about it. However, if it is anything like last year's century bring your climbing legs! I wish I could join in the fun this year but it looks like I'll be riding with the LBC for they are hosting a century which is part of a contest I signed up for this year. Maybe, I'll venture to Georgetown for the ride on Sunday - all depends on how my legs feel.

It was finally 60 today in NY!! But I was too pooped from riding the road and mountain bikes sat and sun to go out today I must remember to take it easy in the beginning of the season...

It was an absolutely gorgeous Monday here, but I had to dedicate my evening to yard work. & I didn't even get it done.

96 and windy yesterday. 'Fraid summer is here! Had a good ride, but slow due to the wind. Two thirds of the way through, I saw my first rattlesnake-ack! I was glad he was on the side of the road rather than stretched across it! (He was big.) I wasn't scared when I saw him, but about 100 feet down the road, I got the hibee geebees a little, and kept scanning the road for any of his friends. I realize they aren't out to get me, but I am really scared of snakes, and always worry that I will surprise one when I'm out. For the rest of the evening I imagined snake scenarios (It's not easy being paranoid!).

I will be VERY pleased if I do NOT see snakey today!

Texas - in the boonies 80 miles south of San Antonio. Last summer wasn't too bad, but I think this one will be HOT!
