This biking season has started off so slowly, in fact I didn't think it would ever finally get here. I kept waiting for the urge to drop out of the gym routine and jump back on the bike and feel breezes on my face as riding along. It took until early June this year for this feeling to happen; a sad record for me.
But now that it's here, it's all that I think about. I watch my weather app with play-by-play focus trying to will away any rain clouds to the west. I can't wait to leave work and get on board Ruby and ride into the sun. Tuesday night I rode past a flock of sandhill cranes in a farmer's field - a reminder that there are many things to enjoy other than a great cardio workout.
