Also the highlight of my ride today was sharing a few miles with former NFL Stevie Baggs and sharing is not really the truth. He was moving at a brisk pace and I barely hung on and only a few times he looked back and slowed down to let me catch up. When he put the power down on the pedals it was like a Porsche 911 GT3 pulling away from a Toyota Corolla. Good fun and a great guy. I enjoyed a brief talk with Stevie at the end.

Rainy Saturday Ride

Route and Ride Data Links:

Strava - Today's Route

Ride Metrics:

Not worth mentioning. It was basically 22 miles of easy riding on very wet roads and rain. Sometimes the rain was hard enough to make it hard to see. 

Goal:

Build Endurance

Ride Description:

I knew this ride would be at risk of storms, but I tried anyway. About mile 12 it started raining on me and the sky was getting darker. I stopped at the church and saw Ron putting away his table and he told me a storm was headed our way. Based on the radar it looked like I would have just enough time to get back before it hit. When I got back the sun was out, but the storm was still shown on the radar as coming. 

Weather:

Temperature Start (F): 74
Temperature Finish (F): 74 with 94% humidity
