After a night of continuing rain that totalled over 7 inches in my area of town, the cold front finally shuffled its way through here in the early morning hours, dropping temperatures rather dramatically. The wet streets this morning and the fact that I stayed up way too late the night before affected my judgement and I ended up sleeping an extra hour instead of riding. My ride in to work was lovely, though, with a nice west wind helping me along and the temperature down around 60F. For the first time since Spring, I could do my commute without needing to change shirts after I arrived! Right now it's a cool 59F, and tonight's low is supposed to be around 52, so I'm sure tomorrow's morning ride will feel a bit chilly. Hopefully we'll finally get some sunshine, because it's been cloudy all day today.
When I walked in to the little "kitchen" at our office this morning I found a huge puddle of water on the floor. Water was still dripping from the ceiling and running down the wall. Why we never saw any leakage yesterday when it was pouring down rain all day is rather a mystery. So is the reason they didn't fix this leak the last three or four times this happened.
In case you happen to be laboring under the delusion that you're a tough bike racer who has been training hard all season and deserves a break, Jill's recent decision to enter the Iditarod 350 mile bike race should put things nicely back into perspective for you. And you thought Rouge-Roubaix was a challenge?
