Mother Nature, You are killing me!

So Saturday was perfect weather and I was at work all day.  Sunday was pretty but cold, also being Easter I didn't take ride time so I hope this afternoon to ride for a while.  With rain all week I will be staying inside still.  Saturday is supposed to be dry and decently warm so I will take my boys out to the Wadhams/Avoca trail.

In genealogy news - I will be at the Family History Center (Mormon Church) on Thursday looking through some microfilms.  One of which is very promising - the membership logs and minutes from the church where I believe my brick wall Rountrees attended.

Well I'm back in the basement

I have been so bummed out.  It's been way too cold up here.  The group I plan on joining this year has cancelled all their rides so far.  I'm beginning to take this personally mother nature!  I did ride on the trainer Tuesday and today, and plan on a long ride on Sunday.  Of course Saturday looks to be the warmest of the weekend and I will be at work.  Here's hoping to get outside again soon!

YEAH

70 Degrees Today!!!  It was still cold this morning so I did 35 min on the trainer of interval workout, then detached the bike and brought it upstairs and outside to ride around with my boys.  I'm not going for a huge ride today because Thursday is the Port Huron City Cycle which should be about 20 miles or so followed by the Tax Freedom Ride on the 18th another 20 miles or so.  I'm also extremely scared and don't want to go on a long lone ride.  I will feel much better riding with the club.  I did get my Planet Bike LED reflector (from Aunt Robin) installed, bought the world's brightest jacket, spare tube and handheld pump so I'm ready.  Just gotta get there mentally.

Jim took his bike out for the first time and loved it...he is issuing challenges, saying he can out ride me.  Them is fighting words.  Can't wait to take him on!  I am prepared to lose though - he has had 37 years of being fit and I haven't even had one full one yet.  I'll give it my best.

Spring is coming...right???

Still inside on the trainer.  Getting very grumpy.  It is warmer but still only 43 degrees!  The ChainGang first ride is on the 14th, it better be warm by then.  I've been feeling less energetic for weeks now.  I hope warm weather will help I also had some blood work done to see if I might have a thyroid issue.

Jim told me this week that next year we will take a vacation at the end of February.  I think he's getting tired of my tiredness.

Through all the fatigue I did get on the bike today for 2.5 hours - gotta through quite a bit of Live Wire by Harlan Coben.
