Just another windy Sunday.

Nebraska weather is pretty cruel to us 9 to 5 ers. I mean it can be sunny, calm and beautiful during the week only to turn sour on the weekend. Although this weekend wasn't a bust by any means, it was considered one as:

• Too muddy to ride dirt
• No riding with Friends - team gibson and gibson racing plans canceled - rain!
• i forgot about the sunscreen (its either sunburn on my arms and neck or a wicked case of wind burn!)

I was able to make it into the yard and be productive, so that was good. I need to source and have 5 cubic yards of mulch delivered this week sometime. Guess what I'll be doing come Saturday?

The forecast calls for rain tonight, and then rain/T storms on Thursday/Friday. Will it be too muddy to ride dirt this weekend?

I made it out for the 20 mile West Papio loop. This time the wind pushed me North and killed me South. There were a lot of people out enjoying the sun as the wind was gusting to 35 mph. Here are a couple of pics from the ride:

Skinny tire Sunday

I braved the north wind and made it out this afternoon. I left my house at 2 p.m. and headed south around zorinsky to the W Papio trail, then due north on the trail to dodge overpass. I was looking for 20 miles today, and the sign at Hatwhorn is where I hit 10 miles. See crappy picture of cyle computer!

The wind kept me on my toes. Not as bad as being out on a gravel road, but still pretty windy. When i turned around and headed south, the wind pushed me 5mph faster! Pay back was sweet! The trail runs really close to the train tracks. When I got close I heard a train coming so I stopped and snapped this pic:

Cruised back home with the wind pushing me. I was out for about 1.5 hours, spent over 1200 calories and enjoyed the outdoors! It was a good sunday for me!

I am heading to Denver in the a.m. for work. Be back tuesday. 73 both days there! Hopefully the trails will be dry enough for the BMCC Monday night ride. Post it up if it happens.

cya!
