Sick and Icky

My husband, who works in retail, brought something home with him last week: A nasty, sneezing, coughing up a lung, throat hacking illness (more than a common cold). We are unfortunately still suffering the ill effects of it.

Unfortunately we have had three issues hindering our ability to go out and ride: (1) this illness messing up our health, (2) Bret's rather hectic work schedule, and (3) the strange influx of weather that hit Oklahoma over the weekend. Apparently this state can go from gorgeous weather with the sun shining high and temps in the high 60s to low 70s to days to where it's snowing, almost blizzard like, and temps in the mid 30s... in just a few hours!! Thursday and most of Friday were just stunning and then on Friday night, all hell broke loose. I am till trying to figure it out.

This morning when we woke up we had quite a bit of fun looking at the Google bike maps. You can plan out bike trips to anywhere in the US and it will tell you step-by-step how to complete the ride. We actually set up a fake route that criss-crossed us all over the country with stops in Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, New Jersey, Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina to see friends and family. I felt my leg actually cramp up a hair just from reading the directions. However, with that said, a ride like that would be fun!! (Hello, lottery gods...are you listening?)
