Storms threatened to end our ride tonight before it ever started. Bearing down from the northwest, a developing line of storms seemed certain to collide with the Bedford area, spread through Mitchell, and eliminate any possibility of cycling.
Nature, it seems, was toying with us.
As usual, the storm divided, bypassing Bedford altogether. Even Mitchell received precious little of the rainfall, and Highway 337 was only dampened. It was all bark and no bite.
Twelve of us showed up, not letting H20 stop us from having our workout. Sure, we had to abbreviate it somewhat, but in the end we all did ride.
There was no pace line. The distance was too short, the roads too wet, and the riders too indifferent to the situation to push our luck. It was a wise move. Nothing to be gained by a bad wreck on a meaningless night of training. Most everyone is tapering anyway, so the risk wasn't worth it.
Wendy's was delicious, as normal. We were even served in a very timely fashion. My guess is management was under scrutiny. I didn't wait more than three minutes for my fries. That, my friends, is a record for Wendy's Mitchell.
Short run tomorrow, unless I run with the girls. We'll see what happens!
