They were talking afternoon thunderstorms on the morning weather report so I took the rain bike. It's been a while since I rode the steel Novara, and I'd sort of forgotten how much I like it. It's heavy and not real fast, sure, but it's stable and plush and goes exactly where you point it.

We're having hot-n-muggy this week, which is fine with me. Means I can wear my lightest stuff, only put the SPD sandals on, and not care at all about whether it rains. (The best thing about hot summr days is how little it takes to get dressed for a ride.)

So it was kind of disappointing that coming home, despite the iron-gray skies, the lightning on the horizon, and the distant rumble of thunder, I never got hit by a drop.

Maybe tomorrow.
