April 8

Oh, my gosh, I can’t believe it. It is raining snow pellets and dark as early evening here in the middle of the afternoon.  I predict this is going to be the wettest bike trip ever.

In talking to my brother in Ohio, they have had, and are still having, unseasonably cold and extremely wet weather. And just 70 miles from home, they had a tornado last night with quarter-size hail. Can you imagine me on a bike getting caught in that kind of weather?  I’d probably mess my pants, sorry, but I probably would.

I lucked out four years ago and was hoping for a repeat of the most awesome summer ever.  I’m preparing myself mentally for a totally different kind of ride.  Could be interesting.
