It's another cold wet day

The sun of the warm Sunday is gone. Tuesday was a cold, wet, windy day. One of the days I just stall till I have to go out. Leave the warmth of the house. Face the day on the road. I dragged the #2 bike out. Fender on the rear wheel. Smaller gears with the compact cranks, 50X34. I was one Co2 bottle short on my tire kit. So I stopped in a Half Link to fill the need. David the owner was busy so I found the stash and waited to pay. When David had a chance he looked outside and looked at me. I told him it was a ride day. He said he had been offered a ride into work and took it. Another customer came in and I was out the door. Off on the routes I know so well. Doing the hills, rollers and the few flats. The #2 bike is a good bike. The #2 bike rides OK. It just does not have the snap the #1 bike has. It climbs more labored compared to the #1 bike. Still it is a good choice for nasty rainy, windy days. So we did the miles. They went well. Just good training miles. No worries about other riders out today. I had the roads to my self. Traffic was light to. Folks are just not driving as much. Cost of gas made sure of that. Food or gas? I look at the cars and trucks as dinosaur's. They just don't know there dead yet. There is a day coming that will change everything. We better get going on the electric car and electric everything else to. So I had the roads to myself for the most part. All the hills, all the flats, all the rollers. It was a nice controlled ride. Medium gears to build the strength on. No problems, none at all. Well, one problem, Mary Anne is in Florida. I miss her. It's still raining today, it's still cold. Come home soon Mary Anne.
