Thwarted By The Weather…Twice
New Mexico weather just amazes me, and it shouldn’t because I’ve lived here for the past 19 years, but regardless, it does. It was 78 degrees when Robbie and I went riding on Thursday. Yesterday, it snowed. We knew it was going to be cold. It was only supposed to be in the upper 50’s, not a problem, we were going to go riding anyhow. We’d just wear long sleeve shirts instead of short sleeve shirts, seriously, not a problem. But no, this morning I wake up early, and it’s all of 20 some odd degrees. We didn’t go riding, the sky was black and the wind was blowing. And at the same time we would’ve been half way through our ride, it started snowing and it continued to snow well past the time that would’ve marked the completion of our ride. We didn’t get to ride at all Saturday.
Today, Sunday, Easter Sunday. It was cold and cloudy this morning sitting out on the aluminum benches at the football stadium for sunrise service, but by the time I decided I was bored and I wanted to go riding, it was nice. So I go put shorts on, put up my hair, go to the kitchen to fill up the bladder for my backpack and I look out the window. It’s windy and there’s no sun. 5 minutes prior it was sunny and not so windy.
It depresses me when I can only make 1 ride during the week. And we’re going on two weeks now that I’ve only ridden once each week. *sigh*
