One of those days...

[Wraith Rider]

So, rain was forecast for the day but nothing materialized all morning while I had chores to do.  Finally, about 1:30, I decided to head out for a ride on my 700.  About 2 miles from home, the sprinkles started.  It wasn't bad and the road seemed to be drying out as fast as the drops fell.  About 6 miles in, the road is starting to look damp but there are no puddles.  By 10 miles, this is getting serious so it's time to head for home.

Here I sit with my clothes on the registers and a shivering feeling, but I did get 21 trike miles in.  Life is good.

MY HERO, Dennis! I'm just a fair weather rider!

Well, it happened again, today.  Five of us met for our usual Saturday AM ride and it started drizzling almost immediately after the start.  I was on my Corsa today.  I got 31.4 miles and I think 31.0 of it was in drizzle.

Ahh, but that .4 miles was wonderful! 

[Wraith Rider]

Ahh, but that .4 miles was wonderful! 

As was the sausage and cheese omelet half way through the ride!

My club has a ride scheduled for this morning and the roads are wet, it's 41F and the wind is 12-15 out of the North.  I think that I'll probably blow it off.  Maybe if I don't go, the sun will come out for the rest of the guys.

If I ate something like that before/during a ride, I'd be chumming along the road for sure.

I do it all of the time.  That's why I'm so...  "healthy."  :}

[trikebldr]

Hmmm! Then I must be VERY healthy, Dennis! I really like your choice of words!

[Wraith Rider]

I go to the doctor tomorrow for a pre-op physical.  We'll see just how "healthy" that his scale says that I am.
