Some claim the charms and the namesake of the Ironman Bike Ride the last Sunday in April in Minnesota, is due to the fact that it’s in Minnesota. 2007’s Ironman was a glorious spring day. 2008… let’s just say I’m stoked I finished before the big fat snowflakes. ugh.
Anyhoo, Brooke, Kate, Danielle, Becca, Rebecca, Barb, and me did the 62 mile ride, with hella bad headwind the whole time. It made grandpa’s walk to school (uphill both ways), look like a walk to school in the sunshine, with rainbows in the sky.
In retrospect, at least it was snow in the air… and NOT rain. Because if it snows when you are on bike, you stay more dry than if it rains.
