Temperatures in the 40s, heavy rains, and gusty winds.  Sound familiar?  Despite two wonderful days in the 80s, Sunday morning conditions just sucked. I was going to do the MATTS Single Bong 20K TT with my teammate with Jeff Holland.  A few e-mails back-and-forth confirmed it wasn’t worth the trip north. I later found out that they still had about 50-60 people race.  I likely would have won my category again, but was happy not to race in crappy conditions again.

I also wanted to avoid the trainer at all costs.  I knew the winds would shift and temperatures would climb back into the 70s and 80s.  Sure enough, a front came through around 5 PM and I headed out for a 60 mile ride. I got a good 3 hours in, but still got wet from occasional showers.  Oh, well, I was able to ride at tempo pace most of the time. At least, we’ve got some warmer weather and things are turning green and blooming!
