    Unhappy Rain

    I was supposed to go on a 35 mile ride with Plush Ride (Renee) today. I got up at 5:30 to eat and get dressed to meet her at 7. While rain was predicted for this afternoon, I thought we would be fine. So, at 6:15 as I was going out to put air in my tires, I realized it was raining. Since Renee has to drive for a half hour to get here, I called her and sadly, we cancelled. Of course, the rain lightened up after that, so i went out for a 2 mile walk/run. But, it has been coming down steadily since I got back. We definitely would have been dumped on.
    Instead, I just ordered an AV jersey.

    rode to work today in the rain. well, light drizzle. Unfortunately it looks like going home won't be in a light drizzle. the rain has been building all morning.

    I rode to work today, too. It was one of those rides where every traffic light was in my favor. Yay!
    Rain is threatening, but I need to ride to the LBS after work to check out the specs for my new Seven. If it's pouring by then...well, I'll be in the shop wet, but hopefully I'll be rescued by a certain curious Knight in Shining Subaru (DH) who may show up to watch the progress on the bike and carry me home!

    I actually got OUTSIDE for a before-work, dawn ride. This was the first time, but I'm sure it will not be the last. It's so much better than the trainer stand, even in the heat and humidity.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    If you don't want it, then please just push that rain over the mountains would you! It's been nothing but hot, hotter and getting drier and drier in Spokane. bikerHen

    I went out and played with the unicycle for the first time! I didn't get beyond the "hold onto the fence" stage, but I did actually pedal the thing for a while (I could only let go for about 2 pedal strokes...) Wow - it took less than an hour to wear out my thighs and core.

    Now THAT is cool. It's a wonder to me that we have some people who do STP on unicycles.
