so a great ride today. they actually cancelled the 'official' ride which means we ended up riding the route with no support. a very hilly hill country course with crosswinds 60% of the time and headwinds 30%; usually uphill as well. unfortunately I wasn't able to get the full 80 b/c of lack of support; but 30 miles and a brewery tour and bbq afterwards more than made up for it.
plus, i get free registration next year. not half bad.

so another early morning and getting ready for a ride-race.
storm moved through last night dropping rain and temperatures. hopefully it isn't too windy today; but i'm sure it'll be great.
80 miles of hill country, blue bonnets, and relaxing to bluegrass music with real ale relaxation.

freitag!
ah yes, another spring weekend. so first the not-so fun part: work.
but then it shall be relaxing and riding the greenbelt (now full with water, which is great!).
and then relaxing and games until I prepare for tomorrow's 80-mile charity / brewery ride. hopefully its not too windy...
should be great weekend regardless.

so the weekend - it is over; eh?
nothing of note; just the typical late january musings and lusting for sunlight. i was able to finish one of my books: Freddy & Fredrika by Helprin, and as always he did not disappoint.
of course saturday was so miserable that no outdoor adventures were possible; well at least by bike. i was able to visit the new brewpub that just opened down the street though. unfortunately they don't have any of their own beers ready and the setup of the space is conductive to patio lounging; but it was still good to get the meet-n-greet in.
other than that, i enjoyed easter: a bit of scripture in the morning followed by neighborhood biking and a futile attempt to get a haircut. but after that tea and newspaper time at flipnotics which was nice.
so i hope tomorrow brings a return of spring and the sun. i plan on lunch biking regardless in preparation for this weekend's fun.
