We are staying in Conroe this weekend, waiting out rain, thunderstorms, and general gloominess. We’ve built in these rest days into our schedule because we don’t need to be in New Orleans until 2/24 to meet our son.
And we have a year on the road, so no crazy hard end dates.
It rained a lot this morning but …

One flat, one bike change, and getting after it to catch the group at mid-point. Then, the rain on the therapy miles with two crazy near-misses due to very slick road paint. Luckily, it was the rear tire that slid out both times, or else i would have been eating pavement. Good times…
