Yesterday it rained - and rained. I made one quick trip on the mountain bike to pick up a newspaper, and although I thought the radar looked like it was clear for a while, I ended up getting rained on anyway. I spent the rest of the day doing exciting stuff like installing a hanging pot rack, cleaning out the pantry and watching TV. I think my wife has some sort of cup fetish. I threw out a whole bunch of those plastic travel mugs you get from the coffee shops, keeping only the nicer dozen or so. I also threw out a bunch of other cups - Mardi Gras style go-cups (must've been a hundred of those) and various childrens' cups. Not that I dared throw then ALL out, you understand - just the old beat-up ones. I ended up with a huge garbage bag full of junk from the pantry, and I didn't even attempt to deal with the top shelves.
So this morning the streets were still wet and it was warm, humid and foggy.
The ride was a little confused. There were just four of us at the start, and as we went past the playground, we spotted Robin unloading his bike, so we eased up for a while, Rob and I soft-pedaling along while the other two riders stopped. After a few minutes, we looked back and only one rider was coming. Jeff said that Joe had a flat, so I turned around and rode back to the playground while Jeff and Rob continued on. On the way back, we caught Margaret just in time for her to have a flat.
Bottom line - it was a short easy ride today. I think perhaps tommorow's ride will be fast, since there is a lot of pent-up speed lurking around. We'll see. The weather forecast calls for warm and humid all week. It's December and yet the lowest temperature we're likely to get this week is 51F, and that's not 'till Friday. It's supposed to get up to 78 today! It's kind of rough on the Christmas spirit when it's hot and muggy like this.
