67 degrees and raining

not a down pour but sprinkling then rain then sprinkling, well you get the picture. I just know that it was cool enough for a bike ride and I like riding in the rain. The pace is much slower to be safe and of course I have still had spills from the bike because the pavement is slippery with rubber tires. Yes I took a spill today too, not serious just a couple of small scrapes, slipped while trying to miss a puddle and turn the corner.

I rode for 30 minutes and it was wonderful to be on the bike even for a short trip usually would be a 5 mile trip in 30 minutes but only 3.4 miles because of the need to slow down and be safe. It was worth everything to be back on my bike. It is so much better than walking/jogging for me.

Tessa went over to the track and jogged only 1 mile today of course the track is a 1/2 mile away so she did get in 2 miles in the rain today. She must be as crazy as her mother, (me of course) ;) It is funny she will walk.jog in the rain but she hates to bike in the rain.

Tomorrow we will probably be resting since we are supposed to be biking the 20k route of the September biathlon Saturday morning, weather permitting.
My bike is loaded and the only thing left is to load up Tessa's bike and add air to the tires. Everything  is looking good for our first preview of the route.
