After reading about all of the hearty souls who bike through rain/snow/sleet, I decided that I could do my 7 mile commute through what started as just a light mist today. It was 45 F, so I wore bike shorts, a long-sleeved running shirt, and my bright orange bike jersey over that (I feel uneasy riding roads in lo-vis clothing). The light mist turned to moderate drizzle about half way in, and I was pretty soggy by the time I arrived, but not especially cold. I enjoyed the ride all the same, especially hearing how quiet the park was on that segment. Discovered that those little terry cloth patches on the thumbs of my bike gloves come in handy for wiping off the sunglasses. It's clearing a bit now, and I've got my shoes stuffed with paper towels to dry them off a bit. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that my clothing dries out some. Fortunately, my work clothes stayed dry, but I'll probably start wrapping them in a plastic bag (inside the backpack that I use for carrying).

Ride on!
