We have been under drought conditions in Northwest Tennessee all summer, but it has been raining everyday since Friday from hurricane Isaac passing through. I read that through August we had 18 inches for the year and last year at the same time we had 48 inches. We haven’t received a lot of rain from this storm, just showers off and on all day.

It does but a damper on bike riding. I usually ride everyday to the coffee shop, then to the gym, then to the office, and back home in the afternoon, about 10 miles total. I ride to church on Sundays. I think I’m having withdrawal symptoms since I haven’t ridden since Thursday. Rain is in the forecast today but I am glad to get the rain since it is needed so badly. I guess I could ride in the rain but my wife is afraid I might melt. Ha!
