April slips in slowly. Missing the first few days thanks to life. Then the weather hits back with chilly temperatures and threats of rain.
First group ride of the month with the South Orange County Riders Strava group. This ride was the scenic route with a fast group of guys. The day began very cold for me, at 9°C, 48°F. IT warmed, but I was never hot so the wind vest stayed on.
This second week of riding in the month, I’m going to try and increase my riding time to nearer three hours.
So much for April. A sinus infection laid me low. What began as allergy like symptoms slowly got to the point of real sinus pain and blocking my head so riding was not in the cards. I thought, it was just a slight cold or something. It became the or something after finally giving in and heading to the doctor. Antibiotics, rinses and sprays. This last few days of April into the first week of May are recovery from this. The infection leaves me napping the couch on warm afternoons. We are enjoying cool nights and mornings that slowly warm to perfectly comfortable, blue sky afternoons and evenings. I am hoping another couple of days I’ll be able to venture further than arms length away from the tissue box, then I can saddle up.
Not all that impressive totals for the month.
