Oh, this is embarassing, folks. I have not been on the bike since the Spring Kick Off ride. Yup, do the math and that's a full 2 weeks since I've ridden. I'm going to go ahead and be soft on myself, and say that because of the non-stop torrential rain we've been having combined with my lack of any rain gear whatsoever (despite a co-worker's recommendation that I just use a garbage bag in place of a rain-proof windbreaker), I can't really be blamed. It makes me feel better about myself - don't judge me.
The lack of riding means not much to report. I have every intention to bang out a few miles tonight after work, and posting that intention publicly means that I have that much more motivation to follow through with it. What also looks appealing is the Berry Bicycle Ride in St. Jacob, IL, this Sunday. Come on, who doesn't like "free" strawberry shortcake at the end of a ride? We've got some friends coming over on Saturday night, so if I can stay responsible this looks like a "go" for sure.
P.S. For those of you who are wondering, I did not participate in Bike to Work Week this week. The portion of Big Bend in between our house and work is a bit too trecherous for my taste.
