Swim on the bike?

The day started out nice. Biked down to the pond and the sun was rising up over the pond. Looked like it was going to be a beauty of a morning. Then about halfway across the pond it seemed awful dark and the sun was gone. By the time we reached the other side you could tell a storm was coming. Fortunately it was not a Thunderstorm, at least I didn’t hear any thunder or see any lightening. The wind picked up though and made for a long swim back. I wish I had wore different swimming attire this morning. I just wore a pair of jogging shorts to ride over in and swim and it proved to be a good swim workout because of the drag from the shorts. No rain during the swim, not that it matters when you are in the water.

Heading out for an easy ride on the bike the clouds were still looking ominous and by the time I reached the corner of Middleton and Main it was raining pretty good. Headed down to the end of Middleton Rd and by that time it was just raining. The rain wasn’t cold though so I felt ok riding. The worst part of riding in the rain is getting home and having to clean the bike up, that probably took almost as long as the ride!
