Ride Description:                                                            
Another nasty start with everything very saturated following several days of rain. It was still raining when I was prepping for the ride, but starting to taper off. At the rest room I saw a triathlete that appeared to have just finished and he was showing the extents of his road rash. He must have laid his bike down since the road rash was all of his right arm and down his right leg and was bleeding pretty bad in some of the areas. Being that this was my third day on the path over the weekend I knew it was slick in some of the areas.

Going out on the first lap I really did not push it hard and stopped to help a guy by loaning him my mini tool to fix his bike and a few other distractions. On the way back I had some opportunities to pick up the pace a little.

This concludes my rainy holiday weekend attempt to get in some miles. Nothing big and no intense goals to meet. Just get out and put time on the saddle. Mission accomplished.
