I used lots of gears this weekend, just none of them on my bike. Ideally, I would have done the Fat Bike Birkie race on Saturday and would have earned the event t-shirt that I received. Instead, while the others were riding, I walked the dog on the northern Wisconsin lake where we were staying, practiced my Irish dance steps, and pulled together trivia questions for the MS fundraiser. (While I had tinges of regret, I think I did a good job of not criticizing myself too much.)

I didn't feel so hot when we got back to town this afternoon, so I didn't take advantage of the nice weather and go for a ride. Instead, I took a short nap, walked the dog, made granola bars, sent out confirmation info to the trivia participants, and emailed my team about MS Awareness Week and the opportunity it presents for them to do their fundraising outreach. I also saw a bat, which didn't require any effort on my part, but was a noteworthy event at dusk.
So, I did a lot, just not quite what one would expect on a nice, sunny 60-degree day, as we transition away from winter.
I am planning on signing up for 30 Days of Biking, even though I'll have to get creative when traveling for work in April. I'm waiting to register due to not having a witty explanation for why I'll be riding, like this smarty who registered on the first day.
