So, it was a bit wet today on the roads, but it didn't rain on me like last Monday. Usually, my timing is flawless. I get on the bike and if rain is coming if waits just long enough for me to warm up and then it arrives. Well, today, the rain never came. Oh, sure, it rained pretty much all morning, but by the afternoon it was threatening to stay clear. I decided I would act so I changed into my gear to get quick 70 minutes in before the rain returned. Unexpectedly, however, the rain never materialized.
I rode blissfully un-rained upon through my short 18 mile jaunt and only returned because there was no more light. Sure, my backside was a bit wet from the spray from my tires, but it wasn't enough to disturb me or really even make me uncomfortable.
I know have I been saying this a lot lately in the blog, but I think I am starting to hit my stride. This "hitting my stride" should not be confused with riding fast or easily cresting mountain passes, but it is a strong signal that my surgically repaired right knee is holding up and my mind is solidly on task.
Now if everyone could just think positive "no rain" thoughts between say 1-6 pm this Wednesday so that I can get in a solid climbing ride that would be fantastic.
As for today's title and the accompanying photo. Yes, it is polka dot jersey, but this does not mean any mountains were summited today and, therefore, I give "thanks".
