Dang sorry that sucks. Hopefully your ankle is nothing too serious.
Todays commute to school was great. It was 33-40 degrees and raining moderately all day long. No work today so I turned my typical 20 mile round trip into 50 miles today...I dont know why but riding in the rain is fun (as long as you have plastic bags on hand
). It was also very cool to run into another commuter near school today...asked him how the ride was, to which he replied, "The BEST."
Also tried out my new Ortlieb Back roller panniers today...WOW. I had so much room to spare it was ridiculous. Water was not an issue and I am very pleased and now feel justified for spending so much on them.
