Today was a day of dodging and weaving through the whims of Mother Nature. The plan was simple: a bike ride to bask in the unusually warm January weather. Sipping my morning coffee at City Brew, I was ready for a leisurely pedal. But as often happens in the mountains, the weather had other plans.
Rain and snow swept in, derailing my cycling plans. Not one to be easily deterred, I pivoted to hiking. University Mountain was the target. With determination, I set off, only to be met with an icy greeting. A quarter way up, a fierce blend of wind and snow sent me retreating.
The day wasn’t done with me yet. I found myself running along the Deer Creek Sneak Road, a change of pace but no less exhilarating. As I neared my car, breathless and invigorated, I noticed something. The Nordic trails, now dressed in a fresh blanket of snow, looked inviting. The ski conditions were perfect, just as I was wrapping up my day. Darn, a missed opportunity!
But that’s the beauty of being outdoors, isn’t it? Plans may shift, the weather may have its mood swings, but each turn brings a new adventure, a new story to tell. As I drove home, I couldn’t help but smile. Today, Mother Nature reminded me to expect the unexpected and find joy in every twist and turn.
