HEAD WIND AND TAIL SCREAMING...

FINALLY THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER HAS BROUGHT SOME NICE WEATHER AND SO I DECIDED THAT BECAUSE TODAY WAS SUCH A NICE DAY I WOULD GO FOR A BIKE RIDE. IT HAS BEEN A VERY WINDY SPRING AND THE WIND APPEARD TO BE CALM AND SO I DECIDED THAT TODAY WOULD BE MY 1ST 10 MILE BIKE RIDE OF THE SEASON. FOR SOME OF YOU THAT ISN'T A LONG WAYS, HOWEVER, THIS WAS ONLY THE SECOND BIKE RIDE OF THE YEAR, AND 10 MILES IS A LONG WAYS FOR THIS OLD LADY. AS I LEFT THE SUBDIVISION, HEADING SOUTH, I NOTICED THE WINDS HAD KICKED UP A LITTLE (SHOULDA GOT A CLUE, BUT DIDN'T), I TURNED THE CORNER AND EVENTUALLY HEADED NORTH AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE A GREAT RIDE. THE TEMPERATURES WERE DECENT, LOW 80'S AND IT FELT REALLY GOOD TO BE ON MY BIKE. WELL YOU KNOW THE SAYING "ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END" THEY DID. AT MY TURNAROUND POINT I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT I HAD HAD A TAIL WIND ALL THIS TIME AND WAS NOW FACING A HEAD WIND FOR THE NEXT 5 MILES OF MY RIDE. THANKS TO MY YOGA CLASS, MY LEGS REMAINED STRONG FOR THE WHOLE RIDE, BUT MY BUTT STARTED TO SCREAM AT ME AT ABOUT MILE 6-7. HEAD WIND AND TAIL SCREAMING I WASN'T SURE I WOULD MAKE IT HOME. I EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT CALLING JEFF TO COME GET ME, (WHAT A WHINER RIGHT? ) I KNEW THAT I COULDN'T STOP BECAUSE IF I GOT OFF THAT BIKE I WOULD NOT WANT TO GET BACK ON IT SO I KEPT ON PEDDLING AND LOW AND BEHOLD I MADE IT HOME. MAYBE NOT IN THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT I HAD HOPED, BUT I MADE IT NONE THE LESS. I JUST DON'T GET HOW YOU BIKE RIDERS, (AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) CAN RIDE ON THOSE TINY LITTLE SEATS, I HAVE A BIG OLD PADDED ONE MADE FOR OLD LADIES AND I WAS STILL SORE. I CHECKED JEFFS GO TO CHANNEL, THE WEATHER CHANNEL, TO SEE WHAT THE WIND SPEEDS WERE AND IT SAID ONLY 10MPH, IT'S AMAZING HOW EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF WIND CAN AFFECT A NICE RIDE. BUT JUST LIKE ARNOLD SWARZENEGGER SAYS "I'LL BE BACK" HA HA HA

SEE WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY IT IS HERE IN IDAHO. EVEN LEXIE IS ENJOYING THE WEATHER AND SHE ALWAYS WANTS TO BE INSIDE.
