The forecasters are calling for widespread thunderstorms this afternoon but I rode anyway. I almost decided to drive, but after watching the weather on two different TV stations I decided there was enough uncertainty in the forecast to ride. Around here in summer, if you drive every time the forecast calls for afternoon thunderstoms, you might as well park your bike for the summer. The weather was beautiful this morning, although I did hit some patches of fog. Yesterday I rode my singlespeed and that is always fun. I typically average about 1.5-2 mph faster on the SS, mainly because I have to charge all the hills, and there are lots of them on my route.
