Rode to church in half of my newly acquired Gore-Tex rain suit (given to me on week-long trip I just got back from... another post). Started rainig hard just as I left - should have put the whole thing on! Arrived dry from the waist up, drenched downward - and then the homily included mention of Father Tom's mom's parish in Ireland where only paying folks could sit in pews, and they would arrive all wet and be standing there in their damp clothes... but I at least got to be sitting :-)
Too much catching up to do to get miles in, tho' I am hoping to get 1000 miles this month.
LIse, sounds like one bike cuts the wind better than the other :-) Down here in CHampaign the buildings make a *big* diff, though, over out on the prairies.
Good educating on the paper-guy! It is also an object lesson in the advantages of being further out in the lane when going straight (though that depends so much on that corner and that traffic). I learned to appreciate lane-taking (no 'incidents,' fortunately) on my 100 mile ride this week - mile after mile of serious traffic on a two-lane road.
