I got out for a twenty minute ride today to go look at the lake. On the way back it rained just enough to wet the road and like a dumbass I took my front fender off earlier this week and forgot to put it back on. I looked like I did when I was a kid on the Mongoose, covered in muddy water spots.

I just put ISO grips on last weekend since the stealership in Allen had a 20% off sale on grips. This darn rain has not quite given me the chance to try them out yet. If it's at all dry in the morning tomorrow I'm heading out.

As it is the rain was crazy today. There was a bunch of rain around where I live, but I went about 10 miles out for some errands and not a drop out that way.

Well it has been pouring at my house most of the morning. Yesterday the rain seemed to be mostly on the west side of DFW but it is on the East side today.

Spent most of the morning in the Garage watching the rain, drinking coffee and looking at my bike like it was a stripper.

The weather may be clearing up here in the Mitten State, so it looks like my ride up to the " Thumb" still might happen !

Here's a pic from Memorial Day last year....

There was actually a break in the rain this afternoon up here, so I at least took a little bit of a ride. I'll have to see if there is enough of a break tomorrow to head out.
