This past weekend brought us another stretch of cool, rainy weather that makes me wonder if those warm, sunny, carefree days will ever arrive.
Saturday morning I got to the river and realized I was slightly underdressed. The temperature was above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, but a north-northwest breeze made things chilly. Once I was in the boat paddling I felt okay, but not cozy. I paddled for 100 minutes, venturing up into the Loosahatchie Chute before heading back. A few raindrops fell on me as I approached the entrance to the harbor.
Yesterday the temperature stayed below 60 with periods of rain. I stayed in and worked in the shop most of the day. In the late afternoon I decided to drag myself outside for a bike ride. I normally prefer to get my athletic stuff done in the morning so I can wind down at the end of the day, but once I was on the bike I found a groove and had a great ride. I covered 34.5 kilometers in 95 minutes, traveling out the Greenline to Shelby Farms and doing a loop around Patriot Lake before coming back home. I felt better after the ride than I'd felt all day, and after a good supper and some reading I promptly fell asleep.
