Riding in the Rain

Well, it has finally happened. The sky opened up on us about 3/4 of the way through our ride and we learned through expereince that the Trek 520 is indeed up to a downpour. Despite the rain, there were no accidents...except for my attempt to do a little loop-de-loop to let Diego get ahead of me and promptly falling into the wooded bank that bordered the road. Nothing to injured except perhaps my pride.

Also, I only yelled at Diego once ("Slow dowwwwwnnnnn cars might hydroplane!") and I did not cry at all. Hurrah, we are making progress. Today's ride was also the debut of Diego's new iPhone bike mount, which as far as I can tell was a grand success.

My riding outfit consisted of too-big padded bike shorts that hurt more than they helped. I think a new saddle is in order, and certainly some new riding gear. If only it were not all so gosh darned expensive.

Overall a good ride. A week until we are both done with finals. 18 days til graduation. 40 days til departure. BRING IT ON!
