Riding in the Dry Spots

The radar this morning wasn't very encouraging, but even to my 6 am groggy brain I thought it was worth a shot. Arlow was the only person to show up on the levee, which wasn't surprising, so we headed out side by side with a light tailwind and thick clouds looming in the distance. When we got near Williams Blvd. the occasional light mist started to turn into genuine raindrops, so we turned around. Somehow we managed to avoid actually getting wet, so it turned out to have been good call. Of course, there still remained the problem of getting to work, and when I checked the radar again it wasn't looking too good. I rushed through my morning shower and took off on the commuter, arriving at work with only a few little raindrops to show for it. An hour later it was raining pretty hard and it's stayed wet ever since. Whether I'll be able to ride tomorrow morning is anybody's guess.

Meanwhile, my prospects of finding a team for next weekend's TTT aren't looking so good.
