Sweet, Sweet Relief
It is very close now. At 6 am tomorrow morning I will be again free to play at my own will. Today is my sweetie's birthday, so tomorrow we're headed out to spend a long weekend playing in the Beartooth Mountains, near Red Lodge, Montana.
However, the weather is currently crap, and the weather tonight is supposed to be crap. The snowline is about 8000 feet elevation right now, and the prediction is for snow down to 7000 feet tonight. In addition, some high elevation roads, including our route to the Beartooths, are closed due to this inclement weather.
I'm not quite sure what's going to happen yet. We were supposed to run up to about 9800 feet and bike up to 11000 feet elevation this weekend, and it seems those plans are currently in doubt.Then again, the weather is supposed to move on sometime tomorrow, so maybe it will clear up.
Regardless of the weather, I'm sure that we'll have fun.

Happy b-day to your sweetie! With your snow report - does it mean Bighorn will be covered too?

Colorado is getting blow clear to Kansas with 100+mph winds. Lots of new snow.
Good luck up there. Maybe we'll take all the moisture out down here?
Play safe, both of you!
Happy B-day to your guy. Next year he'll be in a different age-group (you too.) Not sure that's an advantage in distance races. The older crowd is fast! (Except for me! I'm working on it.)
