Wednesday we had a massive thunderstorm but I had made it home right before the sky dropped out. I saw dark clouds and the wind pushed me some of the way home. Today was a pleasant ride in. No fog/ rain mess. felt good too. I took yesterday off because of football practice and it was supposed to rain. It rained in the afternoon and thought it might interfere with practice but didn't. I am glad I drove because I thought i was going to get stuck at work too. driving just lowers the stress level on Thursdays.

i am debating trying to ride the VA creeper this weekend. 34 miles (68 round trip) crushed gravel might rain/ might not. I don't have fenders on the new bike but really want to try it out on the rail trail. 650bx 47mm seem to be screaming for it.
