Spring/Summer has been pretty good so far. The good part of Spring weather this year seemed to come earlier than last year. We didn't really plant anything in the garden because we are in the process of selling the house.
I've been doing a lot of cycling to prepare for the STP (Seattle to Portland) bike ride this year. It's coming up in less than 30 days and I feel *sort* of prepared. I've done a few 70 mile rides and felt good enough to keep going, and good enough the next day to get back in the saddle, so I feel pretty confident about doing 200 miles. All the bicycle training I've been doing has been taking time away from me and my wife doing more things together, though. We have not even taken the canoe out for it's first voyage for the year. The training will stop in July though, so I'm also looking forward to taking it more easy on the cycling.
I am finding it amazing the distance one can go on a bicycle. It feels like a world of possibilities opening up. It seems we can go anywhere on a bike, as long as there's enough time to do it at an average of 14 mph.
The weather has been great up here in the NorthWest. I think the highest temp has been about 80 degrees so far. I'm looking forward to the next few months too.
