Happy Spring

It's been a long winter (yea, I know but my standards are Texas standards) and I have been so bored on the trainer. Warm day, got the home stuff done early and took off for a little pedal therapy. Absolutely loved it. It was windy, about 15 mph out of the S-SW which gave me a headwind for the first half of the ride. That's ok, it was like the payoff for a long uphill coming back! I stopped for a break along the way on a bench and could just barely hear saxophone music. It turns out that there is a small instrument repair shop nearby and someone was enjoying the sunshine while the tested the horn. Nice way to take a break.

Tomorrow, I get to do it again!

While in Texas spring has come early......we northerners will need to wait a month yet.

Enjoy your weather. I know I will...when it gets here.

Best Regards,
John S
