19 miles this morning, 2 energizer stations and 1 bagel stop provided by work. It was raining for about 3/4 of the ride. Rain when I left home, then about halfway the roads were dry and it hadn't rained at all. So I took off the rain jacket and said to my bike-pool buddy "Wierd that it's not raining down here!" then 5 mins later I was getting rained on. Oh well, at least it wasn't cold. This was the first time I've ridden the new bike in the rain. I can't get fenders on it because the big tires I put on there don't afford enough clearance. I decided to ride anyway and it wasn't so bad.

anyway, I love the reactions I get when I ride to work in the rain, then tell people that I rode 15 miles (a little further today since I met up with a friend).
