This morning when I got up bicycling today did not look promising. A light rain was coming down and the streets were wet but then it stopped. Looking at the weather radar the patch of rain was gone and I thought maybe it will clear off and i can go riding. About 10:30 am it looked like a good time to ride but it started raining even though the radar didn’t show the rain. So I worked on a project until the sky cleared some and left on the ride at 12:52 pm. Due to the later start I chose a short route; “Kingwood-Community Drive-Valley Ranch”. I rode 25.31 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Biking to the north the sky didn’t look too bad but in my rearview mirror the clouds were dark gray, maybe enhanced by my sunglasses. At Community Drive I made the turn back to the south and began to wonder if I would get home dry. I picked up the pace glad that I picked a shorter route so as not to get too far from home. Making my way to Valley Ranch Parkway my concerns held steady and back at the I-69\/US59 service road I took these photos of where I was headed.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
