A Small Step Forward

 Since I've been researching the blog for 20th Anniversary posts, ( You'll see another which will go up this weekend), I have noticed a pattern. I usually get sick in January, February, or both months. 

Now over the past few years, since COVID really, I've been much better in terms of staying healthy in Winter. However; my luck sort of ran out this year and I had some sort of weird malaise over the past couple of weeks. 

I say "sort of" because I usually either get really sick, like bedridden sick, or I get annoyingly under the weather, but never really full-on sick, like most people do. The latter was what happened this time. I actually had to ask around to see if other people were getting sick in my locale and see what their symptoms were, so I could know if I had the "crud du jour' which was going around, or if I was imagining things. 

Turns out I wasn't imagining things. I was definitely just in an annoying state of "not well". This all coincided with the worst of Winter weather we've had all season. So, I have not been riding much at all lately. And THAT is the real problem here! 

I finally was able to crack off a 45 minute fat bike ride on Tuesday afternoon in single digit above zero temperatures. At least it was Sunny and I could cut my own trail easily enough due to the consistency of this snow we've received. It was a good ride and I was glad to have gotten out again. 

A small step forward to Spring. Soon riding season will kick into full speed ahead mode. I will be a lot happier then when it finally does happen.

Hope you get back to 100% soon Mark! With work and other obligations, my fat bike still stays on the peg with snow on the ground. Hope to cure that this weekend.
