Egads!
The weather today calls for some rain in the morning and then clearing off. It's supposed to be in the mid 70s this afternoon. So I strapped my Ruby Pro to the bike rack and headed into work. It wasn't raining but the roads where wet. When I got to work I went to take her off the rack and bring her inside with me, in case it rains some more, and when I looked at her she was covered in a layer of road grime!!! I was horrified. My new baby filthy like that. Anyone else feel this way about their bike? I wiped her down as best I could but now I'm afraid that rust will take hold. Having a nice bike is goin' to make me go crazy trying to keep her clean. I have debates with myself on whether to bring the new bike or the old bike if it looks like rain. I want to ride the new one but don't want her to get wet, etc. Weird - I know.
