Fair weather rider...

I admit it; at this point in my life, I don't like leaving the house to start a ride in the rain. I am more than content to ride in the rain, if it starts raining while I am riding. Leaving the house in the rain, knowing for a fact that I will be wet, cold and miserable is just not that appetizing to me anymore. Maybe it's just old age getting the better of me, maybe it's just laziness or maybe a dim glimmer of common sense (though I find that unlikely).

As you may have guessed by the whining, it's raining again today... just like it was yesterday. So far that means no ride again. If the sun were to come out and dry things off, then maybe I would have the chance to sneak out for a little leg loosener.

Work is full of projects right now. Many good things going on, but a lot of things at the same time. It's good to be busy. It's good to have projects. Heck, it's good to have a job (especially one I love). The bikes drew a lot of attention in Las Vegas and Montreal, so there is a lot of follow-up work to do now. I hope this doesn't sound like complaining, because I'm not. If anything, aside from the tiredness, I'm very excited about things. There are a lot of new challenges and things to do. All of this is good and exciting. It feels like the momentum is growing in the brand's favor and like we are on the edge of "something big". It should prove to be a very exhilarating ride...

I do that too, except for some nonsensical reason I will still leave the house even if it's thundering and i can SEE the rain approaching. But as long as I can get in 5 or 10 dry minutes, I'm good. That makes no sense. Especially when it then turns out to be a biblical downpour and I have to pull off the road because I can't see at all. But I guess it isn't prudence and logic that cause us to ride bikes, is it?
