The weather started nice today with a few stray raindrops. I could see it was dark to the northwest, but nothing ominous. And the assumption largely held out. Unfortunately, physically I just wasn't in form today. So I plodded on, determined to at least ride. As I headed north and it began to get light I could see it was rather dark to the northwest, but slow moving. After seeing a couple do lightening flashes well off in the distance, I knew I wouldn't have been able to make it all the way to the lake without possibly running into severe weather. Thus I went a bit further and then turned around. As bad as this ride was going it made sense anyway. And fittingly, light rain showers started about 6-8 miles from home. Just wet enough to have a messy bike to clean up. Tomorrow was likely a rest day anyway, so this just confirms it. |
