Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Am I completely twisted?!

We're having some pretty nasty rain and flooding here in Chicagoland today complete with power outages and all I could think this morning was how much FUN it'd be to get out on my bike and ride in this mess.

I have had the sickness before but I didn't think it was this bad already again...

Not twisted, you still have a bit of a kid in you. My wife and I always ride in the rain. It's a blast.

This was one of those mornings that it felt like I could ride forever, it was 73 degrees F., raining a little and the humidity was at 94%. It seeemed that the wind was at my back after every turn.

I hated to stop when reached the office.
