Just two weeks after the “big snow”… today we’re in for the “big thaw.”
With the sun beaming and temperature rising, it was a beautiful afternoon.
And I really wanted to go for a bike ride along the lake.
Although I typically avoid days like today because I know it’s too soon
and there will be puddles, mushy snow, mud, debris and kinds of junk along the trail.
I knew that it wasn’t a wise idea.
I knew that I would inevitably get one of those wet mud stripes up my back.
I knew that the puddles would be 3-inches deep in parts
I knew that the stretch just south of Fullerton would be impassable.
But I also knew that I was going to go anyway.
It was irresistible.
