<------fail.

It's ride to work day and I'm driving the work van.

Does it count if I left the bike at work and will be riding FROM work?

Pouring rain , lighting, and babysitting after work for a 1 year old. Cutty and I were trying to think of ways to mount a car seat to the bike. All the ways we thought of didn't sound the safest...... But waking up to rain and really bad lighting yeah, sorry no riding today....... Both the SV and the Vader are tucked in sleeping for the day.

sad

Don't feel bad. I was promoting this day everywhere. So what does our weather do today? 70% chance of rain with possible localized flooding.

I'm at work till 4 and then have to head across town for a meeting and I won't get home till after 9 or 10. So no riding for me today. Stupid rain....

We had thunderstorms all last night through this morning. I'm in the cage.

I hate rain. But after a week of working the later shift and then today working the early shift..... Way to tired..... So riding would have woke me up. HOwever it was bumper to bumper traffic for the last 10 blocks I had to drive. God damn people...............

I work with my dad. And we are working at our house today, I did sit on the bike for a second to move it though.

me too...it may rain, but after all the rain i've ridden in lately, this is nothin!!

It was a beautiful morning and i think I'm going for a spin this evening as well...

The rain doesn't bother me as much as trying to get my bike clean afterward. Although, a good thunderstorm ride is great for getting those stubborn bugs out of the radiator!
