New states, old friends

My long awaited bike trip with Adventure Cycling from Savannah to Charleston finally arrived!  I rode as much as I could before, given our winter weather and I felt prepared! got an AirBNB room in Savannah for 1 night before and 2 nights after and I couldn't wait to see the South!....then that Nor'easter blew in.

The trip was quite miserable and one I don't want to remember much about.  The route was not good - no road shoulders and way too much traffic.  The weather was freezing!  Literally!  In the 30's in the mornings with highs in the 50's and some rain and wind. I never rode in 30 degree weather before & now I know I can.

Besides that trip, April included skiing, work for DPS, and lots of fun.



I rode in the same long pants over biking shorts, 2 long sleeved shirts and a down jacket, gloves, shoe covers, and gaitor every day!  You can see from the clothes that the South was cold!

A highlight was the night we spent in this plantation house.  It was warm inside and lovely.


Also in March and April....


Reunion with some AD12 librarians at Missy's place.  So fun!  with Trisha, Missy, Molly, Dana, and Rita.

Spice Girlz missing Diane.  But Roberta was visiting from Costa Rica.  At C.B. & Potts. 

Skiied two days with Scott's son-in-law and granddaughter, Rhiannon.


With Second Wind

 Finally, I saw lots of sheep in Wateron!  Very exciting



Start of the Colorado Trail - I plan to do some segments this summer.

Megan and new husband Rich visited as they drove to Alaska for summer work.  We rode in Waterton Canyon.

Ride from my house to Eldorado Springs....haven't been down to the town for 30 years!
