Deferred Ride 🚴🏿
Today I had a deferred ride. I was wary of going out early today because the forecast (again) predicted rain and T-storms; but nothing much happened.
Then I got busy with other things; and around eleven o’clock I began to hear thunder. I would have felt vindicated for not riding if a big downpour with lots of lightning had descended upon us. But it didn’t; and by early afternoon I had had enough of the deferred ride
Fizzle 🫧
The apparent approach of a T-storm was a fizzle, as it turned out. Half of me wanted to ride; and the other half said, don’t be too quick.
There was a flood advisory in effect; which could have meant that there was a downpour on the way. At the same time, we’ve had such advisories for the past few days; with little or no rain. It’s the old boy-who-cried-wolf.
I finally went to the park. I kept an eye on the sky as I rode; and during my third lap, the sun came out. It wasn’t long before I began to feel too hot; so I went home.
It was a short ride; but a deferred ride is better than no ride at all.
