Blow It Off

Blow It Off

Sometimes it’s fun to blow it off!

Yesterday I decided to blow it off, and skip blogging. Sometimes it gets to be a bit too much!

This morning I didn’t do much of a ride. It was drizzling; and I heard some thunder. It wasn’t close, but there’s no thunder without lightning; and stormy weather can move very fast. I didn’t want to get caught in a T-storm; so I set up the trainer with the hybrid, and pedaled for half an hour.

This device can rescue a ride in inclement weather.

As usual, that was a long half hour; and also as usual, I had to make a very rough guesstimate as to my mileage. But at least it was a little better than sitting around doing nothing!

I’ve been working at product grids for the upcoming dot net version of this web site; and this evening I blew it off, too. My brain needs a rest from it; and I worked on Slides instead.

I hope the weather won’t force me to skip riding tomorrow; but the forecast is for rain; and it could be heavy. It’s no fun to ride in pouring rain: even though it isn’t cold, I’ll still have visibility problems; and of course, concerns about lightning.

I got spoiled by our long spell of little rain. It was great for the Love to Ride April Challenge; and so far May has been pretty dry. But now we’re getting a wet spell; and actually, I think we need it. Some parts of the country need it even more than we do. I wish I could send them some of our rain!
