We are accustomed to a lot of rain up here in the Pacific Northwest, but this crappy spring weather is really starting to get old. After a night’s worth of heavy rain and a morning thunderstorm, the mud was so slippery, the second I got a couple feet out of my driveway, my truck slid all the way down the hill from my house. Nothing I could do about it, I was lucky to not keep sliding right through my neighbor’s garden and into his house.
The Mt. Hood Cycling Classic starts tomorrow, hopefully the weather will clear up a bit. Supposed to be near eighty on Saturday, I’ll believe that when I see it.
