I was nearly ready to change into my cycling kit this morning, but the rumble of thunder and the following heavy patter of rain told me that the ride wouldn't happen this morning. I'll take the bike into my Mazda, to provide an opportunity to ride home at least. For now, it's time to shower and dress for the drive.

Rain day #13
At 06:30 this morning while guessing the future movement of a line of thunderstorms shown on weather radar, I hoped that I might actually be ready to leave soon after 7, and perhaps lead the rain to work. But within a short time wind billowed the budding trees outside, and rain began pelting the windows.
Change of plans: get into the shower and dress for a drive to work. I had had a nice weekend of biking to the farmers' market and yoga class. So there's no need to carp about a day of rain.
Just in case, I loaded the Trek 850 into my van, though I had other plans in case the rain held through the day. For one thing, I need to make a side trip to Lowe's to pick up garden items, including annuals, herbs, and starts for vegetables. Another errand: mail the tax forms a few days before the due date.

A wet Monday
The rains were coming, according to the online radar that I checked at 07:00. And they arrived just when my normal bike ride would have been half over. I was out the door after coffee, a bagel, and a shower. The rain was momentarily heavy as I crossed to the garage. Didn't even bother to pack in the fixed-gear Lotus, since rain is forecast through the night.

Rainy Saturday
Temperature: 50°F.
Preciptation: rain
So my decision not to bike yesterday was borne out, throughout a day of rain, sometimes heavy. It's raining still, and I've decided to go to Practicce Yoga this morning at 11:00 for open vinyasa. I took an alendronate sodium pill as soon as I got up at 9:00, and I'm now waiting the 30 to 60 minutes before eating a light breakfast.
