I had an interesting ride. My friend and I got caught in a crazy downpour that I didn't even know was in the forecast. I don't usually ride in the rain, but I continued along, riding away from home, because I thought it couldn't possibly continue. Well, it did. I ended up riding in drenching rain with a headwind the whole way home.

Traffic was scary close passing me, something I don't usually have a problem with, but in the rain, I would have liked a little more room. I don't know if it was deliberate, but I suspect I was just hard to see, and I was happy to get up my hill and off the busy road. My friend also had an incident with a crazy driver after we parted. Really weird for around here. Maybe some people had a little too much pumpkin PIE (it certainly wasn't me, though ).

The rest of the ride, before the rain started, was windy. My friend, who was supposedly tired from her nearly 60 days of riding in a row (1000 miles each month!) kicked my butt the whole ride. CS, if you're reading this, you're almost there!!!
