All is well here in Kentucky. We were hit late last night and boy what a show! The tornado sirens began blaring at about 10:30. The wind, rain and hail were something else. Fortunately the tornadoes were radar indicated only, no touchdowns in this area.

I got up early this morning and decided to get a 30 mile ride in before the temperatures dropped and the front passed through. There were lots of trees down, roads were covered in tree/barn debris. I came across a herd of horses that had gotten free and were enjoying themselves and their new found freedom. Unfortunately, at the turn around (about 15 miles out) I turned into a very strong headwind and it was a battle to get back home. My average speed at the half-point was a brisk 15.9 mph but by the time I got home it was a slow and disappointing 13.9 mph. At times the wind was blowing me across the road and it took everything I had to keep my bike upright and in somewhat of a straight line. I'm exhausted for the last 15 miles felt like I was climbing a huge hill - I think I curl up with my new cat (Phoenix) and take a nice long nap. Gotta love spring break!
