Default Had to do it

It's overcast with a constant drizzle in Atlanta, 61 degrees and a million things to do for the feast today. I look at the wife and say "wanna go for a little scoot?" I get the deer in the headlights look with the remark "you know it's raining". BFD!! I been taking my truck to work every day and the bike hadn't been started in over a week. 15 minutes and some wet pant later and I feel great. It's always time for a ride.

Rain - all reports are that you need it!!!!

With the dry summer/fall, you should have gotten in allot of riding.

As I type this, it is 30 degrees and SNOWING outside!!!

Happy ThanksGiving, as someone earlier said, somewhat envious as it is in the 30's today. Wife has already set in with her honeydo list. So I'm going to bust my butt so I can relax, watch some football, and be a post *****. But at least one of her honeydo items is putting risers on her bike, so that I can handle.

We woke up to 3" of new snow. First this season. And I hope, the LAST. Happy Turkey day all!

A friend once told me, "Any time you don't go for a ride because of a 50% chance of rain, there's 100% chance you'll miss a good ride."

Did about 75 miles yesterday because I also heard rain today in Atlanta and I've been car pooling with wife for past few weeks.
