Shortest Ride of the Year

wind and a wee hint of dark clouds on the horizon were not of concern as i rolled out for my monday evening ride. 20 minutes later i was in the midst of lightning-o-rama as that speck of dark clouds was now covering most of the sky. yuk. a quick u-turn and i was barreling down the road with a 20mph gusty tailwind. so much for my planned 2 hrs.

didn't get rained on but the lighting and wind were pretty intense.

ride stats:

30 mins (and some odd seconds)
8.6 miles

whew, i was bushed. ;)

here's a short list of things i've done since the last post:

- dnf'd the brighton brushbuster (paid for that with a rash of ivy)
- rode to owosso to pay homage at the tomac shrine (bask in the magic and aura?)
- raced at the boyne mt marathon (great course, crummy legs)
- rode a lot right out my driveway (simple yet effective)
