weather woes...

Yesterday, with a Southeastern wind, I headed West southwest and out towards Camden and Russell. If you like riding anything interesting, Western Lyon County and Lincoln county offer the most interesting and undulating terrain. I was in the wind most of the day (riding directly South and East is pretty flat and boring, and after so many indoor days, I figured to heck with the wind...it's a warm wind and it does make difference, so I might as well ride somewhere with some terrain.)

Plus, after about an hour and a half, I'd meandered enough South that I had a good tail, then tail-cross wind ride back home. I will never get tired of flying with the wind at my back on these flat roads. Easily as fun as a descent. I am learning slowly, that if it is nice outside, then go OUTSIDE. That's why, even when it is in my opinion freezing, you see folks outside here. (So what's your point, Joni?)

I'll tell you. Last night, while all snuggled up in bed, I enjoyed the thunder, lightening and rain and was glad that the rain part had subsided by the time I woke up. Cool. Then this morning, Mike was on his bike and just about out of the garage when someone dumped a bucket (make that a small sea) from up above. More rain. So he opted for a ride to work today. It isn't supposed to last and with the way the wind is blowing, it oughta be out of here in no time...but, sigh, right now, my plans for any outdoor bicycle exploration have been put on hold.

Hey, did you know that today the country of Norway is 100 years old!? Happy Birthday Norway!! The weather over the pond in Viking land is much better than the land in the Viking state today---though---

And I see some blue-sky in the distance....so I better go and wake up my lazy old small hound! (So I can take her to romp in the field!)

I hope to ride to Dubbledee's to see the little donkey foal. Her Mom-donkey and Dad-donkey are always close by, but very friendly. If I stop at the side of the road on my bike they all approach the gate like they're glad to see me. So I am packing some baby carrots in my jersey today!! I hope your weather is better than mine...
