Sweet rainy commute this morning.

However, I got a lot of criticism from the peanut gallery for riding in the rain. WTF!!!

First my wife, "you going to get on that bicycle in the rain?" My answer, "it is fun, and I am okay"..

At work, "you didn't ride that bicycle in the rain did you? You crazy"

Now, I understand that all the criticism I am getting is coming from people that CARE about me. However, I try to relate to them the best way I can, that I AM HAVING FUN! At 71 years old, riding in the rain on the bicycle gives me almost as much thrill as when I skydive, or roadrace motorcycles. Believe me it is a thrill and I do get a rush!! The only thing I was upset about this morning, because it was raining kind of hard, so I took my super-beater bike. I was mad that I didn't take the plain beater (Schwinn Prelude), which has a better ride. Be that as it may, the Raleigh Gran Prix has a good ride, I am just greedy, I want it all...

I had on rain gear too and when I got to work, I change into my work clothes.
