Today’s ride wasn’t particularly eggciting; even though it’s Easter. In fact, I thought of buying a half-dozen eggs when I was at the store Friday, but they weren’t on my list; and I forgot to get them.

No big deal — I’m really not a big fan of eggs; and they weren’t on my mind when I went out for a ride. Well, not real eggs; but I was thinking of the candy eggs I planned to eat when I got back home!

I pulled back the mileage today. I thought of pushing for 50 miles; but was too sleepy to get up for a 5:00 am start. On top of that, the weather forecast was on my mind. From what I read online yesterday, things were going to get stormy by early afternoon; and I wanted to be home before it began.

I was delayed in reaching the bike path, thanks to a long freight train. That wasn’t eggciting at all; and in fact, it was quite an aggravation.

A few miles into my ride I saw what looked like rain falling in the distance. I’m glad it was far away; and not falling on me! I kept watching the clouds the entire 40.4 miles that I rode, hoping it wasn’t going to storm.

I didn’t see anything eggciting today: no eagle; and no rabbit. I did see some flags on ships at dock: South Korea; South Africa; and one that I think was the Marshall Islands.

For once the wind on the way home tended to be a TAIL-wind. Good thing; my legs were rather tired by mile 35.

I got home around 10:45 am; and by then the forecast had changed to say, T-storms late tonight; and maybe into tomorrow morning. Looks like a wet ride to work!
