Back on Trail

Well after all that riding last week, I took acoupla days off to concentrate on yard work, laundry, bike maintenance(of course)....
Then the rain came back.
Determined to getta ride in between the raindrops, and because I already had the morning pass, I got to Wompy about 8, and met a friend for a ride. It hadn't really rained all night, but the place was WET. I forgot how much precipitation we have gotten lately......there were BIG puddles in places there that are NEVER wet......
Lots of deadfall needing to be chainsawed outta the way, LOTS of 'derailleur-breakers' (magnetic 1-2 foot sticks that seem to aim for that precious gizmo)lying on the trail......
But of course, it was a great morning for a 2-hour ride. The rest of the day, however, I spent lying around miserably complainiing of sinusitis and actually felt feverish and went to bed early. 'Allergies' everyone says..........I suppose I mainlined more than my share of pollen j.ust r.iding a.long......
The SUN just came out. thinking of a ride, but my day's toast. Gotta go sort laundry......(and wash my bike!)
