April rides

[azfiddle]

Thursday I just had time for a quick 11 miles after work. Friday was a busy day and the midday weather wasn't great- still windy and occasional showers after work. But today was gorgeous! My husband and I rode up Mt. Lemmon past milepost 6 - (total 27 miles for including riding from the house to the base). Then I got off the Ruby, had lunch and took the Surly to buy groceries and to go look for a new saddle for her.. but no luck so far.

Tomorrow is looking less favorable, with 67% chance of rain after 11, accompanied by wind gusts up to 31. Too bad because they have Cyclovia schedule from 10-3 pm - closing down streets for pedestrians and cyclists....

I am officially tired of gusty wind and way colder than normal temps! Here in NC, we are to be in the mid-20s tonight. In April. With all the flowering trees and shrubs in a riot of color.

This is just wrong.

I know many have it worse, but I am not a happy camper! We have only been able to manage riding once per week (picking the warmest day each week, which has been a Monday every week lately), between wind, cold temps, and general busy-ness. Ready for spring, for real!

It's been the same here.... rain, rain, wind, one nice day. Yeah, I rode through the winter, but now, very little riding. We spent all day presenting at our club's bike workshop yesterday. Very good, but all I could think of was we are missing another day of riding. Today is nice and sunny, but cool and windy. I want to ride, but our friends who had plans with, want to hike. I may sneak out for a short ride before we hike.
