Its official I'm hooked

After riding to work 4 days this week today I drove and about half way to work I thought *&&^%% I should have ridden today and all day long everytime I would look next to my workbench where I park my bike I'd thing (*&^%$$# I should have ridden. Nice thing was when the wife got home from work we went on our usual friday evening ride of 14 miles so I did get some seat time in. (*&^%$# I should have ridden. The main thing now is that since its October we should be getting a lot of rain and instead we have had a really nice fall so far so its like I need to take ever advantage I can to get on the bike and go

I'm ready for the rain I bought one of the last Burley jackets my LBS had in stock last week, its a blue thing of beauty and joy to behold. Got the wool socks and neoprene booties too, waterproof breatheable gloves and now all I need is a pack of shower caps or a helmet cover and I'm good to go

You're hooked. Commuting in the Northeast throughout the year, there has only been one day I've regretted riding to work (ice). There have been dozens and dozens of days I've regretted not riding. I love riding in the rain. If you keep it up, you will too.
