Gosh darn we are so close to spring! All signs point towards better days: more daylight, temperatures above freezing, birds-a-chirping, and thunderstorms! The burgh experienced its first thunderstorm the other day, and of course I was cycling in the thick of it.
I awoke nice and early (time doesn't matter, all you need to know is that the sun was not up yet) the other morning to some misty weather. The air was thick with heat and moisture, and despite the fact that I can't drink coffee before yoga (no bathroom breaks), I was super energized to bike. Luckily I was so excited for the exterior conditions, I decided to deck out in full rain garb, you know, the dorky rain pants over real pants, swishy jacket, and, as little cherry on top, a plastic bag over the saddle.
Upon exiting the yoga studio exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes later, I was surprised to find the heavens had opened up into a typhoon-ous downpour of blustery soakage. If you can't tell by now, I like to be a bit melodramatic about the weather. ANYWAY. I could barely see anything, the wind prevented me from moving but a mere few millimeters forward with every pedal. Oh yeah, and it was LIGHTNING! This may sound like a complaint, so let me stop and correct you right here. I effin love lightning. Maybe not while mounted atop tubes of metal, but at this point in the year, I'll take whatever Papa T-Storm bolts at me.
Happy March Y'all!

When I heard that first crack of thunder the other day, a huge smile spread across my face. And I was even more ecstatic to fall asleep to the thunder! Wooooop! Spring time's a-comin! BE CAREFUL ON YER BIKE, THO, AIGHT GURL!?
