A few firsts...

Whacky Wisconsin springtime weather...

82 and muggy today with highs of only 50 coming for Thursday and Friday.

Keeping that in mind, I wanted to at least get a short ride in outside in the hot air today.

One first-- This was the first ride of the season that felt muggy. And it felt good.

Two first-- Saw my first great blue heron in the pond at Conservancy Park where I make the loop turn on the path as part of the Lake Loop course.

Three-first-- Saw kids with a lemonade stand set up for the first time this season.

Sunshine gave way to dark clouds, with thunderstorms in the forecast. So I stayed close to home just in case a storm hit early. It did not.

I got 15 miles in, and the story was the wind. Lots of wind. 20-30 mph gusting wind.

Just some exercise today. At least I got out for a bit.
