1st Day of Distance Derby!

Happy 2012 everybody!

45mph winds were predicted, I suspected Sunday's ride would be a challenge! I'm not crazy about riding in the wind to begin with AND I chose to ride Bling, not one to ride much on those extremely windy days I wasn't sure how she would react to things blowing all around her.

Ride was pretty uneventful. Neither Bling or I were thrilled about all the wind. I noticed in several of the pictures taken that I'm leaning into it to stay on that's how strong it was blowing at times!

Bling handled the cornstalks, etc blowing all around really really well. Didn't have any spooks out of her. YAY!!

13.60 miles

3 hours, average speed 4.4

12/12/09 LONG time, No post!

Guess what it's been doing in SW Iowa? Around 13+" of it!

I had planned to ride today, but by the time I made it outside it had started to drizzle. (freezing drizzle!) Not good when you depend on glasses to see! (...I know... Excuses, excuses!)

Meanwhile, TAZ & Bling are out roaming around the pasture digging through the snow for a few bites of grass. Heck, I guess they deserve it! :)

Everyone stay warm!

Fun in the snow!

Here's a short clip from today's ride- Me & TAZ playin around with Bling in the pasture. Headed off down the road- probably rode 4 miles. It was a little cold- but the sun felt good.
