Ride Description:                                                            
This has been the wettest summer that I can remember since living in the Atlanta area and today's ride was in the rain from start to finish even though it is hard to see the rain coming down in the pictures above.

Sitting at home this morning and contemplating training inside again or going I thought why not just get wet since no lightning was predicted. My intensity levels were not as high riding in the rain. It was a balance between staying at a safe speed and not hitting a slick patch of mud on the path and keeping some speed. The good thing about picking the Comet was not having to worry about cars and there were just a couple of other cyclists on the path.

Not much else to say, but I am glad I went.
