racing the raindrops

i took a look at the radar when i got back from iowa and decided i'd better get out or today was going to be a bust. i dressed quickly and rolled down the driveway and up the road.

i rode hard all the way to milan and back with little trouble. the hills at home don't seem like much after riding around lawrence and near pella. i miss the climbing already.

i got back to town and thought about riding out a couple miles and back, but the rain started and i didn't feel like getting hit by lightning. i'm glad i rolled back home and quit when i did. a short time after i called it quits, a torrential downpour started.

rain is predicted nearly every day this week. hope i can get in some long rides between drops. (12.57 miles @ 17.8mph)
