The hope was this would blow over quickly like the rain earlier i the day but it just kept hanging on so I ended up riding back home in the rain.<\/p>\n<p>So much for today. My plan for tomorrow is to get up early and leave home about 6:00 AM before the rain has a chance to know I am out there riding.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s ride numbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>6.18 miles<\/li>\n<li>riding time 0:31:25<\/li>\n<li>YTD miles = 2572.83<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Earlier today Kingwood had the July Fourth parade.
