Rain, Rain Go Away (Thanks)

Well, yesterday's ride got off to an inauspicious start. As soon as I had rolled about 50 meters I felt the rain on my face. Here I thought I had picked the window of opportunity so perfectly. What to do? Well, I decided I would just circuit the neighborhood for awhile which would keep me within 1 1/2 miles of the house at the farthest should the clouds open. It seemed like a good idea, so off I went. Change of plans, I decide to turn right and head out for one of my usual routes... damn the torpedoes ... Let it Rain. Usually, decisions made with such disregard for Mother Nature lead to dire consequences (such as getting drenched like a rat). Not today, my causes are just and my aim is true. I rode peacefully for a couple hours with no rain at all.





As I note above, the weather had the potential to be a bit dodgy. I sure do miss the temps when they started with '7' about a week ago. Now the only '7' in the temp is more likely to follow a 4 or 5.





I would love to give some details about my ride such as mileage and speed, but the Garmin decided it, again, was not up to it from a rechargeable battery standpoint. I can say that it was a good ride and I am getting stronger.
