I rode today, despite the threats of rain and snow. I still have the commuter tires on the Hilltopper; I haven't switched back to the mountain tires like I had originally planned.
I did gear-up without checking the weather before I left. So I had the full rain and cold package on. This wasn't much warmer than my standard cold gear, just rain pants over the warm-ups and my Bean's ski shell instead of the water-proof windbreaker.
All-in-all, I felt a little foolish with the hood up and nary a drop of rain anywhere; in fact, it looked as though it had already passed through... There is a chance for rain or snow this afternoon, so we'll see if I get any use out of the rain gear today.
I also put the rain-cover on the trunk bag. It was a tight fit, as I had the panniers stuffed with some re-supplies for the week as well as my usual stuff.
I'm hoping to get some pics posted, but haven't been using my time wisely, apparently. Too much time watching the Steelers game yesterday... Next week against the Ravens will, again, be pretty tough. We can beat them. Especially if the running game is as good as it was yesterday. Unfortunately, we don't get to play the Charger's defense again.
Ride on.
YTD: 63miles.
