The rains started Sunday evening and continued most of the night, but by 6 a.m. it was looking better and although the streets were still quite wet I went out for a quick 20 mile spin on the levee.
It appears to be earthworm season. The bike path was covered with millions of earthworms. Most were 4-6 inches long, but there were a few that were easily a foot long. The White Ibis (Ibises?) down on the batture and the Robins up on the levee were having a real feast as I tried to navigate my way through the slimy minefield. It wasn't long before I gave up, though, and resigned myself to hosing down the bike when I got home.
The Daughter in Raleigh, NC last weekend for a "quad" gymnastics meet. They had a rough time on floor and only managed to place 2nd, which was a little disappointing, but Joey D., who lives there had a few of them over to his house, which I think they enjoyed.
It looks like we will add Collegiate categories to the upcoming 2-Person Time Trial at the request of Brooks (UNO's team). That should be interesting.

Odd; almost everyone that I've talked to, around the country today, has gotten rain. What a dreary V-day! :(
Ah, but it did improve finally, and by afternoon the promised sun was out and the temperature was up to around 70F. It almost feels like Springtime. The week ahead is looking pretty good with highs in the 60s and 70s, lows in the 50s, and little chance of rain until the weekend.
Yay, good!Definatly good wx to get there for some riding. Winter is mostly still going here, though... :( We had a hell of a rainstorm earlier and I was in it; It reminded me of Spring but they days bounce back and forth between snow and freakishly warm days. Pick one already! ;p
