Well, maybe not rain, but certainly showers.

My training plan called for three hours today, but the forcast called for rain. What to do? Well, sit in the hot tub of course.

While enjoying the warm waters, I noticed that it was not raining. It was cloudy, but the type of clouds that do not speak of rain. Checking the weather radar, I noticed that the rain was already past my home and there was no rain on the way. Yea, I’m going to ride my bike!

Even though I did not expect rain, I did bring my rain jacket and rode the bike I don’t mine getting wet – the Litespeed.

I crossed the Wheatland Ferry and headed north to Dayton where I enjoyed a Latte and a snack. Then I headed westward and found myself in the middle of the Reach the Beach ride, well at the end of it at least. True they were moving slowly and I was easily passing them, but I have to respect them for venturing out in so so weather to ride 100 miles to the ocean. Good job!

I left the Beachers and headed for the Amity hills. I did Walnut Hill, Amity Hill and Eola Hill in that order. Each was work but each was fun.

After the last hill, I headed back to the ferry and came upon friends Winnie, Al and Tom. I finished my ride with them setting my all time slowest ride up the “Monster Cookie Hill”.

Oh, yes it did rain on me. I got a bit wet, but the rain jacket came in handy!
