Today was to be the first day of five where I attempted to get to work using pedal-power instead of horse-power.
(Yes, yes… I understand that “horsepower” is strictly a measure of power and applies just as much to my bicycle as it does to my car, but it’s catchy… work with me here…)
Anyway, um… where was I… oh yes… today. Today, instead of riding my bike to work as planned, nature intervened. A light, persistent rain throughout the Triangle area has put the kibosh on open-air transportation. What’s a little rain you say? Well, were we talking about a recreational or work-out ride, I’d tell you that a little rain means nothing. However, as a condition present during an hour-long ride to work, where I’d have neither towel, nor shower, nor change of clothes waiting for me, it’s a deal-breaker. Oh well…
Tomorrow looks to be much nicer… we’ll see how my plans fare then.
