Discretion is the better part of valor. It's already windy AF out there, and too much of my route is totally exposed, plus about 8 miles of it would be directly into the teeth of of it, at a time when it's supposed to be 20-30 mph with higher gusts.
I am too old for this nonsense. This is why I don't cancel my Zwift subscription.

Most of the horses made it around the track, in the right direction, although many decided to stop to eat some grass on the way.

Not saying the jockeys add nothing to the equation, but me riding a fast horse could beat the world's best jockey riding a slow horse.

oof, i wish this flu was over. day five and I'm only a bit better. it's like been hit by a semi truck. i'm not sure what is more annoying the constant muscle aches in my shoulder and back or very sore and constricted throat that makes swallowing anything even tepid water hard. I'd be sure it was the rona except all the self administered RATs have come back negative. Time to call my doctor tomorrow and see if they want to come get a PCR test.
my achievements for the weekend were: getting dressed, luxing the lounge floor and doing a 900m walk around the block. the last two absolutely knackered me out.

Also, not to sound like VV, but this is looking like it'll the be the Year without Spring, in MN. Well, we've had some proper spring days, with mild temps and sunshine, but they've been few and far between. It's been long stretches of rain/snow mix, with temps in the 30s and 40s, broken up by the odd day of sunshine. Friday and Saturday was probably the nicest (only?) two day stretch of pleasant weather that we've had this year and then - boom - we're looking at 90° next week. I felt a little out of sorts riding in the high-60s yesterday, so I know I'm going to be dragging my tongue the next few weeks.

Horrible, schizoid weather this year.
