Luck was on our ride



Riding this time of year can be tricky with the weather.  Luckily, this spring has been really good to us, and the trails in Wisconsin have opened early.   The ride was scheduled a week ago, and as it drew near, anticipation grew….watching the weather daily to see how the forecast would pan out.  Ugh… 100%-90% rain, ≤40⁰F temps and trails closed, so –postponed the ride for a day.  Now, what to where?  More?  Less?  Today a little breezy so – opted for more.  Sure enough after 3 miles in – time to strip down.  Puddles weren’t too bad, mostly little ones here and there, just enough getting dirty.  Lots of nice grip and the sandy section is always pleasant after a rain.  Lots of light as the trees are not fully leafed out yet.  From the pictures, we all had a little bit o’ mud on us.  All the more satisfying is that we squeezed in great riding (as I write this it is raining, again) for the weekend.  Why is that with the rain on either side of the ride – makes it just that much more enjoyable for a Mad FORC?
