Rain

[Tri Girl]

Since we had 21 straight days of rain, I HAD to ride in the rain recently. Not fun, but training doesn't stop because of the weather (and I'll be dam'd if I'm going to sit on a trainer for more than an hour). Went out for a 2.5 hour ride in the pouring rain. Had on a sleeveless jersey (because it was a wee bit warm) and arm warmers and shorts. Besides the muddy brown streak down my back and butt- it wasn't too bad. Poor bike had dirt everywhere. Washed it really good when I got home, lubed the chain and she's good as new.

Go ahead and hit the wet roads- just be extra careful. I made sure to have my super bright jersey on and extra blinky lights on me and the bike just so drivers would be able to see me better.

Hey, could you guys send some rain up this way? Kano and I could really use some gentle, spring-like rain to put out these wildfires around the area. None of those thunderstorms that scare the bejesus out of the dog and start more fires with the lightning, though. Thanks!
