Two weeks ago I hoped that a mid-April ride might happen. The weather says otherwise. Another winter storm is in the forecast for this weekend. Snow accumulation predictions vary, but we will definitely get snow. In years past, I’d be pulling out my hair in frustration and looking at real estate and jobs in the south. Oddly enough, I’m not that stressed about it this year. Actually, I’m pretty sure I’m too busy to worry about it. I’m absolutely slammed at work and between that and family obligations, I barely have time to write this blog let alone worry about a snowstorm. I think that it’s a good thing to be busy, especially this time of year. My fear is that I’ll also be this busy when riding season actually does come and I’ll have a repeat of last year, which I rode WAY less than I’d like.
With that being said, I’m going to prioritize riding this year. In years past, I’ve gone on weekly rides on Wednesday evenings. I think I’m going to be sure that happens again this year. My mom usually stops by every Thursday evening to spend time with my kids. I think I’m going to politely ask her if she can switch to a Wednesday visit. Thursday is far too busy for my family to be able to ride.
I think I might even start posting rides on the KLK Facebook page to let local riders know. Actually, a local group of riders have a Wednesday meet up throughout the riding season, so maybe we’ll periodically stop and say hello to those guys (and ladies). Hopefully, getting others involved will keep me from getting “too busy” to ride. I’m actually getting excited even writing about it.
Shit! Now I actually am pissed about this snowstorm!!
