I’ts rained just about all day today.  In fact, there’s a chance of rain all week this week with storms moving in on Friday.  Because of the rain, I got on the treadmill and did 2 miles this evening.  I’d rather have been on my bike.  In less than 2 weeks I have a 46 mile ride down in Marion Alabama and I’m not ready.  I believe that if the ride was today I could do it, it would be rough but I could do it.

Have a safe week everyone!!

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.

We’re supposed to get up to six inches of snow tomorrow between 6 am and noon.  My employer refuses to acknowledge the fact and is not closing.  Even though all schools, county and city, within a hundred mile radius has closed.  Last year we had a system come through so quick that 1700 people got trapped at work because they couldn’t get home.  You would think that our company wouldn’t just go ahead and close to keep that from happening again but I guess the all mighty dollar is more important.

I’ve got several bike rides that I’ve signed up for this year.  None of which are century rides.  Right now I don’t think I could do a half century because I’m so out of shape.   The weather here has been so crazy that I haven’t had a good weekend to get out and ride. This weekend doesn’t look good either.
