Take One

I went to the mountain to ride on Saturday. Started out great, nice temps, little cloudy, then even a little sunny, then more clouds, then more wind, then darker clouds, then steady cool rain. I was 2:15 into the ride and just about to drop several miles down Auckerman when the rain came harder. I had to make a choice on whether to keep going or head back to the xB. Based on the fact that I had no idea how long the steady rain would last, I had no rain shell, and it would be a good 30+ minutes of climbing if I kept going, I aborted and headed back to the xB via Rt. 31.


When I got in the xB it said that the temp was 65. By the time I got home the sun was full on out and the temp was 80!! WTF? Oh well, now I have an excuse to go back to ride today! :)

Later.

Saturday was epic. My ride was supposed to be an "easy" 60 miles with a group of others, and ended with my legs seizing and me falling over in a lady's front yard still attached to my bike.
