How Was Your Commute Today?

and you didn't stop to pick them up and put them in your panniers??

LOL! Some did look pretty big...one could feed the 2 of us pretty well. But I think someone put them out for the deer (no idea why anyone would...but perhaps they did). It was a head-scratcher....

Okay commutes today. Stopped in the lbs twice, dialing in my fit. So close, but not quite there yet. It's funny, you solve one issue, and another pops up. It's kinda like whack a mole.

Hard headwind back, on my heavy bike. Tired.

Whack a mole, I will have to tell my dad that one. He was telling me that his mountain bike style handlebar is fine, he never has wrist or arm problems. He has lots of other problems and I promised him that as he gets his other problems solved, he'll start having arm & handle problems!

I decided to bike to work even though they are calling for rain and possible thunderstorms this afternoon. I figure - it's spring and that's what happens in spring. I don't really mind riding in warm rain but I'm not a fan of thunderstorms.

I was about 10 minutes from work and the sky started to light up. It took a little while till it dawned on me that it was lightning. Less than 5 minutes from work, I heard the first clap of thunder. Then it started to sprinkle and then...about 2 minutes from work - pouring rain and hail! Hail that was almost the size of golf balls. Ouch! I could see my building but was considering ducking into the fish market for cover. Instead, I started to sprint. I got to my building and the maintenance guy and security guard came out and asked, "Is that hail?" I wanted to say, "Yes, do you see the red marks on my face?"

Good thing you had on a helmet!

Good thing you had on a helmet!

Pfunk, you're braver than I. I was ready to go, figuring I could handle thunder and lightning, but I got half a block from home and the hail started. I put the bike away, drove to the office in the pouring rain, and got ready for work in the bike locker room. Wimpy, I know.
