April is the Cruellest Month

In so many ways, April is relentless in Central Oregon, as it's, unlike the rest of the country, not really spring. People behave in strange ways when the sun is out, but the batteries are not turned on, and the wind blows hard from the south in the morning and the north in the afternoon. People seem to question all they believe in; it's as if the wind drives the unconscious out of them.

Yes, I've been out on the bike too alone and too long, but today Ossie and Billy accompanied me on a twenty mile jaunt around the back roads of Redmond. Next week promises to be warmer, so check the forecast and plan to ride towards May with the club.
