Last night the wind was getting stronger by the minute, it was getting darker and the sky looked angry. It never actually rained though. What a good ride.
Deja Vu!!!! The same thing happened to me yesterday morning. Your statement is right on. However, my wife also understands that I NEED to ride. I think her asking me if I want a ride is just another way of her telling me she loves me.
This morning I rode in a heavy drizzle and 46 F degree temperature. The thought struck me about half way to work that I was enjoying the ride. It's nice to see that someone else is just as "crazy" as me!!
