Around the Storms ↻
It looks like I’ll have to plan my rides around the storms in the coming days. There’s a lot of rain and T-storm activity in the forecast! In fact, we’ve got a flash flood warning right now.
Tomorrow, it looks like storms will hold off until early afternoon. Maybe I’ll be able to ride around the storms; but I might want to ride the hybrid for at least part of my miles. After today’s rain, the ground is apt to be wet; and that means a lot of muck and grit gets tossed up. The hybrid has fenders; and without fenders that grit can get tossed up into my hair.
Grit 🏜️
I suppose the Dirty Kanza is a great way to get a lot of grit, if that’s how your tastes run. Participation in the Dirty Kanza surely requires a lot of grit! I’m definitely not equal to the challenge.
Two hundred miles of racing over a gravel course; it can get very hot; and you might have to ride around the storms. Or through them! They say that rain, and even hail, is possible. Participants also need to be able to take care of mechanical problems on their own. That right there counts me out.
All I can do is take it day by day, and plan rides according to the weather. Going out to ride in the rain wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have to worry about lightning!

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
