The Window

Okay, so about 6" of rain has fallen over the three days here. Very wet. Dan and Josh came down to ride today. Plan for 1:00, they left Indy after 1:00. Got here a little after 2:00. We took off around 2:30 and rode to Spencer, which is about 20 miles there, 20 back (40 total, duh). It has probably 6 big climbs total (3 each way). It's a good ride that I like to do. Just ride to Spencer, go around the courthouse sqaure and come back. Knock itout in about 2 hrs. We rode it pretty hard, we had a cross/head wind both wyas, really due to the surrounding storms. The wind was all over the place and it was rpetty strong. Like I said, we rode it pretty hard and when we were about 15 min or so from home it started sprinkling. I thought for sure we were in for it, getting poured on. Not to be though. It cleared up, then let loose once we got in. We were lucky to get in that window. It was actually pretty nice, overall. We all thre wore shorts! That's the first time this year! That rules. We turned an otherwise crappy day into a good ride. Sweet. It was wet and we had a lot of water on the roads to deal with, but I'mnot complaining. It was great to be able to get out duringt his monsoon.
The weather is looking okay for next Sunday's RR in St. Leon, IN. It's a week away, so we'll see what happens, but so far, do-able. Neither Dan nor Josh can go next weekend, so i'mon my own, but whatever, road' sjust trianing for MTB anyway, right?
