Once again I get an early start this year as there was very little snow this
winter, and the warm weather came earlier.
The standard take in Minnesota is
that we only had half a winter this time.
As the summer rolled on thre were a few things that prevented me
from riding as much I would have liked.
I did some traveling for work and pleasure in May.
I had a basil cell in my ear that required a medical procedure
and kept me off of my bike for a week.
I also spent a week in Montana visiting friends.
I can't complain though.
In spite of a wet summer, there was lots of good biking.
