today was my first official ride in the rain and it was quite the interesting one
lesson 1: stopping at a wendys to grab lunch before a big storm makes riding in the rain so much more enjoyable (kelsey and i had a wendys lunch date and enjoyed some delicious fries, frosties, and nuggets...mmmm)
lesson 2: when riding in the rain water flies everywhere; up, down, and sideways from both the sky and tires = limited visibility (kelsey and i were able to navigate our way through the worst parts of the storm quite well)
lesson 3: ride railroad tracks perpendicular! today's wipe out count was 4+ and i saw 3 of them. pretty sure i was the first one down (i'm such a trendsetter) i messed up my handlebars a bit and got a little busted up on my right side but all is well (so are the other riders)
tommorrow is our day off in greenville and i'm looking forward to sleeping in and letting the body take a break
thamks for reading!
