The weather here in the mid-Atlantic region of the US of A has been very cold so far this year. Record breaking cold on several days and cold enough to keep the local HOG group from holding its New Years Day Frosty Balls ride (click here for more).
Yesterday was quite the unique day it was 74F degrees (not a record but very close) and sunny. SOOOOOO after work I jumped on the bike for the 1st time this year. Yea, I know, sad sad sad for a guy that states “I just want to ride” ! LOL
Less then 15 miles out the clouds appear and BAM, I am in the rain. Not a downpour, but enough to make me laugh and smile at the crazy luck I seem to have at times. Oh and enough to create a lot of road spray and make a clean bike very dirty. 😦
Glad you got out! I took yesterday off and got some good riding in before I got soaked on the way home.
I don’t know if I’m mad but I don’t mind riding in the rain. Not a torrential down pour but steady rain.
Nor do I ,,,, but at some point it gets a little crazy that it rains on us more often then not.
