Maybe wild honeysuckle? That's what I'm smelling on my rides in the spring time.
Did 10 miles today. A bit breezy, but nice to get out.

Finally....10.5 miles today. Prettiest day of the spring so far.
Crazy weather keeping me off the bike lately. Plus needing to saw up blown down trees in my woods. Ugh.....

I don't blame you. It was really gusting from the south. I sat on the porch for a while and watched water being blown over the rim of the bird bath in my back yard.

I prefer not to ride in anything over 20. Especially if it's a gusty wind. It's not much fun and can be a bit dangerous on the narrow country roads I have to ride.

Way too windy for me today.

I must say that I am in awe of the scenic routes many of you ride though. Simply beautiful. Thanks for posting the photos.

This was one the nicest days we've had in quite a while in my area of Tx. I did a 16 mile morning ride, then decided to get out mid afternoon for 8 more.

Got out for a tad over 10 miles this afternoon.
The weather in north central Tx is blustery and forecast to get worse, so I figured I better get a ride while I could.

Rest and ice was also what my doctor recommended. It took a while to clear up. I'd never felt anything like it before. Doc was certain it was caused by me jogging with hand weights.

I use a take-a-look mirror. I prefer the compact rather than full length. I have mine attached to my helmet visor, and anchored in place with zip ties.
