I keep forgetting to post here.
Yesterday I got another ride in. Got some hardpan points too. As I pushed the bike out of the garage I looked at my rain jacket, then back at the weather and thought to myself, the sky looks to be clearing up. I'll be fine.
Twenty seven kilometers later I was soaked from head to toe. At Santa Margarita I decided to turn for home while rain ran out the bottom of my shoes and off my nose.
I shortcutted my usual route to take the river trail back to the coast.
I never got too cold, thanks to my Voler base layer and Castelli arm and leg warmers. But, man that hot shower took a while to warm up my body after 73km's of damp.
I should get another ride in tomorrow and then I'll have my monthly totals. Not an exceptional month, but my weight loss is on track as is my fitness. I am back to being able to ride this route up to Santa Margarita every other day during the week. The cool weather has helped I'm sure.
