Mud. Ugh.

The temperature in Dallas finally got over 50 degrees today! Woohoo! So I packed up the bike and drove over to my favorite trail. As I drove into the parking area there were two young shirtless guys. Woohoo! But their bikes were caked with mud. I didn't even get a half mile into the ride when I realized that it wasn't fun. Oh well, I headed back, packed the bike back into the RAV4 and headed over to Whiterock Lake to ride the paved trails.

I prefer to be on less crowded, more challenging trails... but this was better than dealing with mud during the ride and then cleaning mud out of my vehicle once I got home.

It was a good ride, I felt like I got in a good cardio workout. I also enjoyed the ride around the lake. There were a lot of geese, ducks and even some pelicans. The geese thought I was going to throw bread to them or something because they came up really close.

I saw lots of menz out cycling and jogging! Lots of cute ones! At least I think they were cute, I only got a glimpse as I rode past.

Mud or menz? I made the right decision today.

Y'all have a great weekend!

Cardio is the way to go - I had an amazing power yoga practise in a workshop today - left my legs and back totally sore! So it must have worked!

I envy you with our balmy weather and the opportunity to do a cardio workout. Here in LSD, with high temps of 22 degrees, I've been holed up in my rabbit hole, staying warm. However, I will have to go out tomorrow and walk to get some exercise because my back is killing me. One good thing, I won't be getting any mud on me. The ground is frozen solid.
