When I was 14, I was asked what I would want as my epitaph. The best I could come up with, after a few minutes of serious thought, was "It seemed like a good idea at the time." Twenty years later, that's still the best I can explain about why I do anything.
There's a new St. Patrick's Day tradition here - snow! In 2002 it snowed 29 inches in 24 hours and actually shut places down. Yesterday the forecast was for 1-3" and I measured 6" in the driveway.
From one intrepid rider to another...hang in, I know you are well prepared...have fun, live to tell the tale, in its frozen, soggy, accomplished feeling ~ glory!
i'm trying hard not to think about what you're doing today.
i'm failing - it's all i can think about. i even asked my man to take me out for a special evening for every endurance ride i miss. he said "that's every weekend!" i said, "ok, every endurance ride in the PNW ...or any that is described in any blog i read."
Oh....... f..., that's not a good forecast for a 50 mile ride. I was thinking about how your were doing before I even read this. Now I will be worrying instead of just thinking.
I hope it all goes well and you have a blast with Dixie despite this forecast.
We woke up to 25 degrees and 3 inches of new snow this morning. I am SO VERY ready for summer.
ReplyDeleteI thought eventers and foxhunters were crazy, but I was wrong. You endurance riders are certifiable.
ReplyDeleteNow go HAVE FUN and KICK SOME BUTT!!!

Yuck. I won't even tell you what weather we had today.

We had snow in the night, but the 45 mph winds have dried it up. Oh joy. Not.
ReplyDeleteHave fun and be safe, and tell us all about it!
Don't send that crap our way!!! It's 90 here... want some heat?
ReplyDeleteBRRRRR.... Hope you have a great ride though, I can't wait to hear the ride story!
