Today is the first day of the long weekend (inc. Thurs & Fri. for me) that it didn't rain down here. Unfortunately I picked up a cold or mold or something and just don't feel up to riding.

It doesn't seem like the rain will ever stop. Last year we didn't get any rain and this year is just the opposite.

I refused to sit inside all day today...a day off of work so I did the PBA ride and take my chances. We ended up not getting rained on at all; a few sprinkles but nothing major.

Yeah, this is getting old! Took a chance yesterday and did a 45-miler with the FWBA. Got soaked on the second half of the ride, but not too bad all in all.

Were you on the ride that Jim led? So was I, on the recumbent! I rode for the exact same reason. On Monday I went and rode the Texas Time Trial course down near cleburne, since I wanted some practice on it. I'll be doing the 24 hour race this year. Looped it 3 times for 60 miles with a speed of 19.4 - not too bad, but it needs to be above 20.

Yeah, I was bearded guy riding the red/black Giant. That was a pretty good ride! I also try and do the Wed PM 'Watermelon Waltz' rides with Art, weather and work permitting. I gave my bike a good cleaning yesterday. It sure needed it after Sunday.

Yes it was - I've emailed Jim for the directions so I can ride it myself sometime for a change of pace. It was great riding with you - hope to see you again.
