Spirited 36 mile ride with the boys this morning. Snow flakes and cold cold wind. New rain gear proved good at shedding the wind – we’ll see how it does when it gets wet – but so far the Shower’s Pass Elite 2.0 is a winner. The design for venting on the new jacket is fantastic – I stayed dry on the inside despite working hard to keep up with the boys on some climbing, and dry after a few long pulls on the front into the cold wind. Coffee at Viva and then I rolled another 10 to hang with the in-laws and family for Easter early dinner. Spent some quality time with the little one reading from the nephew’s vast collection of books and snuggling with an array of cozy warm stuffed animals (a few of them larger than daddy!).
I was almost Spirited Away, you could say.
Spirited off to your family commitments? Tail wind on Dorset was great – but I fought it as I dropped back down to the lake from Viva. Was really cold by the rail yard – howling!
