I went up past Sturgeon Lake. What I was not expecting was rain. Weather.com said it would not rain until 2:00 PM. Well, guess what? They were wrong! I turned around just past Sturgeon Lake when it started drizzling. By the time I was on the south side of Sturgeon, it was raining hard. In fact, just to thumb her nose at me, Mother Nature decided to reduce the down pour to a sprinkle with in a minute of my getting inside my house. Sigh.
Anyway, I actually liked riding in the rain. There was no wind to speak of, and the temperature was just a bit cool to counter my sweating. The thing was, I had electronics in my pockets which would not survive a drenching. So, when I reached Willow River I stopped at Peggy Sue’s and wrapped them in a small garbage bag. It was a good thing too, because the protective cover for my iPod was starting to retain water. My phone managed to not get wet, which is a blessing! Anyway, I arrived home with pretty good stats.
One other thing; this year I have decided not to include any stats for when I ride my bike to work. However, I can say with certainty that it is 7.18 miles from my front door to the front door of where I have to sign in to start my work day. That is just over 14 miles each time I ride to work.
I also am going to write about my health, but in another post later today. At least, that is my hope. Until then, blog on!
