Relative Something

Our plan is to ride south from Chatfield to Harmony, down close to the Iowa border. For the week prior to this trip, I had been watching the weather for these parts and all I ever seemed to see were large masses of rain on the radar. I wonder if we are getting a break. If you are reading this on the morning it is posted, you have the advantage of being able to check. Don’t bother. It will be beautiful and sunny for us all week, I’m sure.

Hopping onto the bike seat on day two is a bit of a test. Did I sit too much yesterday? Even if a tad uncomfortable, the body adjusts quickly and soon the rhythm of a long ride is established and we take in the scenery and enjoy the company of so many like-minded friends in the adventure for which we all signed on.

We are headed for Houston by the end of the day, just a short hop to the northeast.
