My previous posts have been about how bad the weather has been. Now I continue my weather reports with how that completely took a turn this last week when it was sunny every day! Praise the lord! I was able to get out every day and ride without a poncho. In fact, some mornings were warm enough (above 50 degrees Fahrenheit) that I didn?t even have to wear a jacket. I?ve even starting wearing my open finger Pearl Izumi cycling gloves. Nice!
But now that it is warm outside there is another problem when riding home in the early evening . Bugs! Just today I slammed into several swarms of them when I was doing around 28mph. Splat! A whole bunch just littered my right arm. Bam! Got one in the eye. Whoosh! That last one hit my lip but at least it slid off and didn?t go in? Oh well, whats wrong with a little extra protein in the diet. I?m learning quickly that it is better to breath through your nose and keep your mouth shut.
