got home from my ride about a half an hour ago. Went out Cherry street and then out the Leslie Spit with Sweep242. A couple roadies caught us waiting at a light and then caught us again on Cherry St. As they went by one of them called "fixies unite!" and I realized he was fixed (the other guy was geared). Pretty funny.

I got a total tidal wave from a car on my way back home on Queen as well. Total accident by the car, but there was so much water I actually felt the force push me sideways. I was really pissed for about 2.5 seconds, and then I realized it was a total accident and I was wearing all my raingear and I started cracking up. If I was going to get wet, at that point, I would have already been soaked. I <3 waterproof breathables.

When I got home I had a huge smile on my face. I love riding in the rain (when properly prepared). It reminds me of getting home from mountain bike rides in NL and being totally soaked and cover in mud and just LOVING it.

GoodTimes.
