Monday, September 29, 2008  Slow Ride  Temperature at departure
= 65° F (18° C)  This morning's ride is the first time I've
ridden solely for transportation in a long time. The rain from
early this morning left the streets and bike path wet. That
means it is time to slow way down. If you try to ride over the
thin layer of mud that the rain combined with dust on the trail
creates at anything other than a perfect 90° angle -- you're
going down.  The chorus from this song kept running through my
mind for more than half the ride.  Man, I've gotta get some
fenders.   Noah said...  I'm missing my rear fender, too. It
broke last week so I took off the broken portion... and had a
butt stripe even after my short jaunt to the bus.  I'm right
there with ya. The driving wind and rain made for a commute that
was decidedly "basic transportation" without much "fun" to
redeem it.  karen said...  I really sympathize... I didn't leave
until 7:25, so the rain had stopped here. And I was VERY careful
on the mud.  Josh Mitchell s
