Windy and rainy all the way out, but super fast and drying up on the way home. Decided to wear lighter layers, which worked out as I got to dump the arm warmers after five miles, the jacket after 20 miles and the gloves after 25 miles.

Rode down to the bike shop, then around my normal loop when no one else wanted to brave the driving rain.

Fucker in a sky high 4x4 passed me out on a back road littered with puddles, and hit a deep spot just right, soaking the shit out of me, water logging my iphone ear buds, and killing the elevation measurement on my garmin 705.

I wanted to kill the fucker so I chased him down for about a quarter mile until he got away.

mild and rainy morning ride up into the hills. Descending over 40mph with rain was a real adventure

Pushed myself hard on my normal short loop, thankfully there was almost no wind so I scored a personal best. Lots of bugs in my teeth, hair, and face though.

Kinda slow after a week off, and lots of car traffic that slowed me down a bit.

Rode some really steep trails a few miles away from my house for the first time. Pretty brutal, due to the trails being so overgrown.
