The difference this morning was the breeze. It was, I suppose, as sign of change. The forecast was warning of rain later in the day and pretty much all day on Saturday. We're holding out hope that Sunday morning's races will go off without too much drama, of course. The way the weather has been around here lately, anything could happen. There were just a few of us for the Friday morning ride and we soon fell into a little paceline, taking long, long pulls at the front until we had to stop to fix a flat somewhere out toward the turnaround. Otherwise it was just a simple little ride from which I arrived home just slightly less sweat-drenched than usual.
So tomorrow I'm supposed to be going to the Superdome for a little Tulane Tailgating prior to the Homecoming football game. I probably attend a football game once every six or seven years, at best, and rarely find the motivation to actually watch one on television. I think the thing I dread the most about football games at the Superdome is the driving and parking. Since there will be others, the sensible approach, riding bikes, isn't really an option. Hopefully I will survive the whole experience and still be able to get my act together for the 5:30 am Sunday morning wake-up call. Of more immediate concern is tomorrow morning's weather and whether I'll be able to make the Giro Ride without getting too wet. I think that unless it's actually raining in the morning I will ride anyway.
