All suited up and nowhere to goI psyched myself up last night to do the century commute to work today. I awoke early, got dressed and was out the door within minutes. My boss was going to be late today so I had to make it there on time to open shop. As soon as I stepped out I noticed a thick fog and a drizzle coming down. I tried to ignore it but within a block I took my glasses off and settled in for a long ride. Within 5 miles I was soaked and my bike took over and made a u-turn. I did not feel bad about it since I have done sooo many shitty rides in the winter. At this point and part of the year I want to not have to suffer anymore. I be tired of playing tough guy. I returned home and my daughter was happy to see me. I made breakfast , the wife made me a tasty latte and then I drove in and got all my bank errands done. Our townhome association does not recycle (#$@#$$%^%^^%^&&^&&*&**(*()(()) , so I loaded all our recycling and took it into town where I work. I have found a recyling center and I disposed of a lot of stuff there.
The shop was busy as hell and it was hot in there. We finished work with Billabong and had a cold Stella that was stellar. At 10 pm we decided to go on a ride with the wife. We suited up , got the lights on and headed out. Within a couple of minutes we saw lightning. That is where the wife and I draw the line. Upon my second rejection for the day I figured that today was not a good day for me to ride. We are currently under a Tornado Watch until 1 am.
If you can, get out and ride.
out,
Ari
