Anniversary weekend

Last weekend was mine and Pops 23rd anniversary! Can you believe he has put up with me that long!

Anyway, to celebrate, we decided to go for a bike ride even though the high for the day was only 43 degrees and we had a 14 mph sustained wind. But, the sun was out, and we'd had enough of the basement! So, I piled on the clothes, and we took off hoping to ride for at least 3 hours (actually ending up with 4).

We decide to ride from Corwin to Yellow Springs to get in a round trip of about 50 miles. It was pretty cold and the wind beat us to death. While riding, my mind started to wonder (as only a blonde mind can) and I found myself taking a mental inventory of what I was wearing. To my amazement, I counted that I had on 15 items of clothing! Here's the list: socks, shoes, shoe covers, bike shorts, fleece leggings, wind tights, sports bra, under shirt, wool sweater, wind jacket, glove liners, outer gloves, hat, helmet, and sunglasses.

Now, you may be wondering why I'm thinking about my ensemble while riding. Well, I know sooner or later, I'm going to have to pee, and its going to be a major inconvenience to do so. Also, trying to grab a bite to eat while riding is going to be highly coordinated juggling act just to keep from dropping it.

All in all, we had a great day even though we had to stop so I could eat a Powerbar and I dropped at least a handful of M&Ms before stopping to finish them.
