September 5 Rides

[Selkie]

RAIN. I got out early, hoping to beat the heavier rain. No such luck. I was drenched. Visibility was poor---fog, my glasses were rain speckled and I used my second-best light. Luckily, tomorrow should either be just drizzle or clear.

I rode to work thinking we had a long meeting after school (told my second job I wouldn't be in today because of this). However, at the last moment the meeting was cancelled and I was left with a decision to make - go home grab my uniform so I could report to my second job or take the bike out for a nice long spin - I went with the bike ride (shame on me). I rode 27.4 miles on my Giro this afternoon and boy did my legs feel tired after the 50 mile ride yesterday. However, I stuck it out and toward the of the ride I felt stronger. I hope to get a ride in tomorrow after school - most likely my last long one before the Old Kentucky Home Tour begins on Saturday. Keep your fingers crossed for a rain free weekend, I'm sure the 900+ participants are hoping for sunny skies both days.
