Vacation!

43 degrees out when I got up this morning. Started drizzling just after I left the house. Got out on the highway and ran into a brutal headwind. Made it over the hills in Bella Vista and into Bentonville, where I ran back into that headwind........wow! This sure beats working. I love vacation time! Came back home with... the wind at my back and the sun coming out. Doesn't get much better.

77 days out. Not a lot of mileage this weekend, but some fun rides. Was in Dallas visiting family for Easter and got to try out the Tour Dallas ride. Longest distance they had was 30 miles, but they do a great job and were expecting 3000 + riders. Sure looked like they made it. Here's a shot I took with my phone waiting for the start......and I was near the front.

Shortly after the start we headed out across a long bridge, made a U-turn and headed back across. Might be difficult to see in the camera phone picture, but that bridge if full of people who were actually behind me.

After going through some pretty nice neighborhoods, the ride headed out around White Rock Lake (as long as you were doing the LONG 30 mile ride). Anyway, it was a very nice ride. The organizers and the Dallas PD did a great job.

I've added a couple of things this week, the most important of these being a link to my Tour de Cure fund raising page. I hope if you read this you'll consider donating to this great cause. I also added a countdown to the start of my ride, so that I don't have to keep mentioning how long it is until I go.

Have a great day and thanks for reading.
