• MCGTTX Day 7

    April 19 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 72 °F

    This morning I woke up at 0300 worried about the weather. You see, my plan was to get up at 0400 and leave at 0430 to do an Iron Butt Association's Egg Hunt 1000 Gold. This 1000-mile minimum ride can only be done on Easter weekend. But I knew the weather was going to roll in; I just didn't know how bad it would be.

    At 0300, the forecast called for severe thunderstorms at 0500, with the front moving North Northeast pushing 40 mph winds and even higher gusts. My route was headed due north on I-35 almost to Nebraska. I debated with myself for about 15 minutes, thinking if I left before 0400, maybe I could beat the worst of it. Then I realized that if I had to debate this for so long, I probably shouldn't go. So I went back to sleep.

    Therefore, all I did today was watch Netflix and eat leftover pizza 🤣.

    Another great day! 🤣🤣🤣
