I am very glad I went riding Sunday, even if I did hurt my neck and back (back is fine, neck is on the mend). Considering we are in the third day of non-stop drenching rain all of the mountain bike trails are closed...so doubtful I can hit the trail for my birthday this Sunday anyway. I do want to wait until my neck is healed before I hit the trails again, no sense asking for trouble.
The wind was quite refreshing, the trees had served to filter them down to a reasonable level. Sweet!
