The rain just thought it could keep from riding but I waited and I am back on the road this evening. With all of the rain I will be challenged to reach my goals for the month but I’m going to give it a go. Now Tropical Depression Bonnie is headed our way maybe. Tomorrow I plan on a 60+ mile ride to make up for the rain outs. With the construction FM1314 making progress I think I can go one of my old routes. I will see.

This evening’s ride was great. I almost forgot what is was like riding. (Laugh inserted here)
