A Huge Dissappointment



I am a huge disappointment to myself. I should be riding my bike and I could be riding my bike but I have managed to find reasons not to.

My strongest excuse for not riding was yesterday when it rained quite heavily for a good portion of the day. It would have been a wet ride to work but nice going home.

Today is perhaps my weakest excuse. Going to Costco after work. I could have ridden the bike and then rode home and then driven to Costco and meet Susan. It is certainly a nice enough day although the forecast is a bit trepidations. (That is not a word)

I blame the price of gas. I will fill up today for about $3.93 a gallon. I am astonished that I find that affordable but not $4.00 a gallon.

My excuse for not riding today has gained some strength. This is a picture of our parking lot about noon o'clock today. This picture does not do justice to the amount of rain that was coming down. The storm blew over pretty quickly but it was very intense. It seems as though the rain is going to stick around for a while.

I am vindicated! And waaaaaay behind in my miles.
