I was off the bike for 2 solid weeks while my whole family had the flu. Son had to do an overnight hospital stay, then I got it, then wife got it, then wife got strep, then son got flu B, and my voice still hasn't fully recovered in nearly 4 weeks. And then last week we had a solid week of rain and clouds. The past 3 Saturdays in a row have been rainy. Memphis currently has received more than 4x the February rain that Seattle has received. Today, finally, sunshine and a great commute. It was so good.
