Today started pleasantly, sunny and mid 50’s as Ollie and I took our first walk of the day. An hour later I left for my ride and shopping at Wally World. The expected overcast was now dark and foreboding. Plans changed immediately and I headed for Wally World in hopes of getting home before the rain arrived.
While shopping a shower had in fact arrived and ended just as I finished packing the bike. Then, just as I had started the ride home, the rain returned. Total distance of 5.71 miles in 32 minutes reflecting the extra care taken with the rain! The load today was a modest 25 lbs.
