Riding in the rain
We had a much needed rain here in Albany yesterday. But, it rather did muck up the roads, so Fred said we should go old school, flip flops and shorts and ride our fat tire bikes around looking for puddles.
The thunderstorms were over by quitting time at work, so we all met up and rode downtown from the house. Had a good time cruising down wet roads and on the trail. Lots of road spray and mud got us grimed up a bit and we all had that nice attractive dirty butt going on.
Clark and Fred had some money on them, so we decided to stop off and eat & have a beer at Harvest Moon. Ashley came and met us, it was fortunate she was in her vehicle or I would not have been able to bring my 2nd helping of spaghetti home. I was finishing up my bowl when the waiter brought over another one that the cook had prepared. Oops. His mistake is my dinner tonite!
After a great relaxing time, we were getting ready to leave and the upstairs waiter we dislike, Bill, the disorganized drug head, saw us suiting up and said, Man, ya'll are brave to ride after having a few beers. WTF, is it better to DRIVE a car after having a few beers, dude?
We made it home safely and with the knowledge that even on a rainy day, you can still get 10 miles in if you aren't afraid to get a little dirty!

I'm in favor of beer and bikes. We need more of each. Good job with the flip flops too. Have you seen the platforms you can buy that click into SPD pedals? They are only a couple of bucks, worth a try for riding to the local pub. Or some SPD sandals.
