Elected not to ride yesterday because of the howling winds but today was a totally different story. Today was a beautiful day here in Kentucky. The sun was shining the winds were calm and the temps in the mid-50s. I set out to explore some new roads on the other side of town and was not disappointed in what I discovered. All the snow and ice from last week's storm is long gone and in turn the creeks were flowing fast and several had jumped their banks. I was treated to a beautiful waterfall along the way. In the end I logged 30 miles. My legs did talk to me on and off along the way. It was the hills that caused the most talking. I must admit I'm a bit concerned for my first century is the first weekend in March and I wonder if my legs will make it guess I'll find out then.

It was the first non-frigid day up here in a long time, and everyone was outside taking advantage of it! My brother, mom, and I went for a 10.5mi ride. As with most of you, it was brutally windy, even more so because we're on the shore. The glare of the sun off the remaining snow and wet roads made it tricky to see, and in a few places we had to ride around or walk past the pools of water in the road. It just felt great to be outside again. Spring's almost here!

Happy Birthday Mr Silver!!!

Despite the wind, it was two day of outdoor riding and loved it. Saturday I rode my 20 mile route. A lot of pot holes sure have developed since my last out door ride last month.

And Sunday was a ride I have been wanting to do for quite a while and it really makes for a good ride for this time of year especially if it is extra windy. My girlfriend and I road loops around SUNY Old Westbury. The road around the school is about 4.5 miles, but with some nice hills. One stretch of uphill was against the wind bringing us down to like 6mph, but I did with my friends coaxing. Road 3 lapse, planning on 4 next time. Maybe 5 if there is less wind
