Finally yesterday we had picture perfect weather. Sun, temps reached the into the 70's during the ride. It was our bike shop clubs 1st Anniversay ride and despite the holiday at least 20 riders showed up. Since the shop was closed all the workers got to go for a longer ride as they did not have to get back quickly to work. 34 miles with plenty of climbing.

An added plus, I gave up cooking for the holidays as of last year as I hosted 3of the major holidays and fed 17-20 people for 25 yrs. It amazes me how I fed all these people and no one picked it up. Well my darling daughter who still lives at home wanted to cook, so the reigns of the kitchen was hers which made the ride even more enjoyable

Today, the sun is trying hard to come out with the threat of rain later. I am hoping for nothing but sunshine in May. Our flowers have had plenty of April showers this year.
