Drip, drip,drip....
So the commute home had some pros and cons this morning.
Cons:
*It was 05:00 a.m.
*The wind was out of the SW @ 12-20 mph
*It was POURING RAIN
*The rain was COLD
*I rode straight home
Pros:
*The wind was a Tail Wind
*I was heading home
*The roads were empty
Five Cons and only three Pros. So why did I enjoy the ride? I guess I'm just a tad bit goofy or something. Is there any hope for me or am I just destined to be that crazy old guy with all the bikes?

Other than the rain and cold- Can't see any Cons in that commute.
5 am and no traffic-
12 to 20mph tailwind
and on the way home rather than going to work.
But the rain I can put up with- I have clothing for that----The cold I can put up with- I have clothing for that
It is just the brain that would stop me riding in the rain and the cold- but breakfast at home might overcome that.

LOL! It was cold, windy, and rainy, but on the plus side, it was a tailwind!
If it makes you feel better, it's 30F and dropping , winds 13 gusting to 26 mph, and I'm leading a club ride this evening.
