It’s getting towards the end of May, so you’d think the weather would start getting more than just a little bit nicer, right? But Wednesday night was quite nasty, lots of wind, and that extra bite of coldness that makes it just a bit bitter outside. One of those nights taking out the garbage isn’t much fun.

Thankfully we made the right choices for clothing, three layers up top, and it was needed. It never got super-cold; the lowest temp Kevin was was 39-something, but with the wind it would have sliced right through the normal two layers we would have normally worn this time of year. And yes, we were dodging quite a bit of debris, like the tree you see lying across 2/3rds of the road on Kings! Big enough that we didn’t consider even trying to move it.

Move it? Moving is something we weren’t doing very fast up the hill. I had both Kevins with me, and nobody was going fast. Fortunately that gives me a chance to have a little bit of fun now and then, riding hard for a minute or two and then waiting for them to catch up.

I’m looking forward to warmer weather.
