things i've been up to

saturday i went home for to visit with the fam, as it was older sisters birthday. brought the single for some dirt at scott county park. it was great, but too wet, so i cut my ride short. got in about 45 minutes of dirt play time though which was great. as for the sister's birthday, mom's friend jean joined us for dinner, and the four of us had a most excellent evening.

sunday was to see what i should like to call nothing short of an epic gravel road ride. dave, lindsay, john, matt, and i went out on our singles, mostly. the theme of the ride was to be not so fast, just long time on the bike. starting at noon-thirty, and ending at four thirty....i think we didn't do too poorly. made our way our prairie-du-chein past sugar bottom road, and onto some gravel out there. ended up in solon, and took the trail behind the high school. eventually ended up in the park, made our way to the raptor center, for a nice visit with the birds. and headed back in by way of north liberty and the bike path. all in all it was a great ride.

today not much of anything, perhaps a bit of groceries. take in some recycling. definitely doing some laundry. and yep, that's about it.

can anyone explain to me why it is insisting on being spring in january? where's my snow?
