With an early morning meeting on the calendar, I knew Sunday night that my Monday morning ride would have to be an hour of riding in the dark. What surprised me, though, was the wet street. I checked the radar and it looked OK, so I hit the road at 6 am. The streets were soaked from a recent rainstorm, so once again I took the old Pennine out for a spin. Not surprisingly, the levee was pretty much deserted this morning. Even if I'd been able to ride at the usual time, I would have been on my own anyway.
So I got home nice and early with plenty of time to make some coffee and ride over to Gibson Hall for a meeting. As I left, there was a light drizzle falling, but I went ahead and rode the one mile over to the office without bothering to get the rain jacket out of my bag. Soon after I arrived, and for most of the rest of the day, it rained -- sometimes heavily, sometimes lightly. Luckily, by the time I was ready to head home the rain had just stopped, so once again I dodged the raindrops.
At least it looks like the rain is over for a while, although I'll bet we have some fog to deal with tomorrow.
