Rain
It was 47° and raining again as I stood in my driveway surveying the situation. I closed the door and came back inside. 30 minutes later, I couldn’t stand it any longer. I put on boots, cordura, jacked in my mp3 player and headed out. Fuel first, then down 6 toward the coastal range.
The rain ran down my shield as weekend traffic streamed past me. All heading into the city. Grips on low. My Vanson gloves keeping the water on the outside. The rain enforced reasonable speeds throughout the entire ride.
I took the scenic loop through Gales Creek, then over to Hagg Lake for a loop. I found Pepsi in a glass bottle at the corner convience store. I miss Pepsi in glass. It tastes different than when it is stored in plastic.
Darkness had fallen by the time I left the convience store. Back home without incident. My craving cured for a few more days.
It might be time to start peeling off bit and pieces to begin the color change from silver to flat black. Maybe. Maybe.
School starts again tomorrow. I have registered, but I think I might change one course. Traffic court on Tuesday afternoon. Hmm….
PS: I rolled 7800 miles today. Not bad for a bike I bought in August.
