LOl even today's ride beat a big green X.
57 degrees 90% chance of rain. Small hole appeared in the radar to ride in at 9:30. Self imposed minimum is 30 miles once I fire up the bike. Took off at 9:30 headed east. 10 miles later I had been slightly sprinkled on once but the sky didn't look too bad, it had stopped sprinking, and the roads were starting to dry out. Turned north. At 15 miles I could have swung back south to the house, and stayed mostly dry, getting in my 30 miles, but I got greedy. At 20 miles in, it was still good, at 30 miles in even better, and I swung back south towards home for a 60 mile day. But 8 miles later it got real dark and started raining.... hard. The last 20 miles were in a pouring down rain with a big ol smile on my face.
Sometimes you pay the price for greed. Today I had to pay lol. Anyhow 58 miles today, and no green X on the calendar.
