Started off a little on the cool side but it quickly warmed up.  I was determined to get the full route in and with a few stops to rest I was able to complete it.  Not long after I finished the ride the rains came in.

It was good to get out and take my time without worrying about it getting too dark to ride.  It was nice to hear all the birds chirping and the see all the squirrels playing around.  I did have a couple of ankle biters chase after me.  One of them almost made me wreck.  I don’t know why these people don’t keep their dogs on a leash.  I also had two cars back out of their driveways and I had to slam on by breaks.  I know they saw me but they kept coming.  Other than those few things I had an awesome ride.  Just a few more weeks and I’ll be riding my first metric half century of the year.  I’m not sure I’ll make it but I’m sure going to give it my best.

I’m about to go on a bicycle ride and this is what I saw when I made a trip out to my truck.  It’s going to be a beautiful day.  A couple of days ago the weather people said that it was going to rain all day.  I’m glad they took the rain out of the forecast.  Tomorrow however, it’s going to be a different story.

Or should it read Welcome Spring!!  I can’t believe Spring has finally arrived.  It’s been long awaited.  Although, Winter may show her ugly head again before Summer officially arrives I will enjoy it while it lasts.

I went out and bought a new bicycle helmet today.  My old helmet was a Wal-Mart special.  I think I paid $10 for it.  I don’t think I would’ve gotten much protection if I had been in a bad accident but at least I had one.  I’ve read a lot of reviews on the Kali helmets and it comes highly recommended.  For $90 bucks t it had better offer some protection.  My first big ride will be tomorrow morning.  I’m planning on getting up and riding at least 20 miles in the morning then I’m going to a campout that the scouts are having.  Should be a fun filled day tomorrow.

I just got home from a high school gathering.  It was a reunion of sorts but it wasn’t an official class reunion, if that makes sense.  There was only twelve of us that met but we had a great time.  It seems hard to believe that it was just a few years ago we were all sitting in a classroom together.  Sitting there talking to some of my classmates it was difficult for me to realize that most of these people had grand kids already.  Me, my oldest is 21 and not even thinking of getting serious with anyone.  I’m glad for that because he really needs to get out of college first before thinking about girls.  But am I really that old to have friends the same age with grand kids?  I’m really glad I went and I did have a good time.

20 miles, 365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Cycling, MapMyRide, Mileage, Photo, Photography, Rain, Safety, Weather

My goal is to do 20 miles every time I go out.  But right now it’s not realistic.  It gets too dark for me to safely ride before I can get the milage in.  I have a bright headlight and I have a red blinking light on the rear but I’m still concerned that someone will get too close to me.  Tomorrow it’s supposed to be raining so I guess I’ll have a night off.  In fact, it’s supposed to rain all the way into the weekend.  I guess if it’s raining I’ll get on the treadmill for a little while.

It’s not what I wanted to do but it got dark on me.  It felt good being out there on my bike and feeling the cool breeze.  If I’ve learned anything the last two days is that I am out of shape.  I’ve signed up for a 46 mile bike ride in less than a month and I’ll tell you, I’m not ready.

Tomorrow the rain returns and it’s supposed to rain until Saturday morning.  Should be nice on Sunday.  My plan is to ride 20 miles this weekend.  We shall see.

I went to my eye doctor this afternoon and I got a good report.  I don’t have to go back to see him for six months.  The best news is that I’m done having injections in my eyes.  Those were tough to deal with.

Well, you have to start somewhere.  Today was the first day that I have been able to get out and ride.  Sunday was real nice but I was stuck in a meeting all day.  I had a scout meeting to go to so I took advantage of this beautiful weather and I rode my bicycle to the meeting.  It’s not far and I only got a fraction over five miles but I have to take what I can get these days.

My internet is still down and I’m still having to go through my hotspot on my IPhone so I’ll leave my comments short.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I stayed too busy to really enjoy it but I did get to spend the time doing what I enjoyed doing.  Back to the grindstone tomorrow.

Have a great week everyone!!!

Tomorrow’s Friday and there’s 100% chance of rain.  It rained nearly all day today where I was at and there’s 50% chance for Saturday morning.  Next week starts off nice and mild.  I’m ready for some nice weather.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!!
