Flip of the Coin

\"flipAnother flip of the coin! We\’ve gotten another one of those \”50% chance of showers and thunderstorms\” forecasts; for both tomorrow and Sunday.

One way to think of it is, \”is the glass half-full\”. Maybe it won\’t rain. There might be blazing sunshine all day. Then again, it might pour; and bring lightning with it! That makes me very uneasy; and I feel like a rolling lightning rod.

Bicycling, like life in general, is a a gamble. When you go for a ride, you get what you get as far as weather is concerned. Forecasts aren\’t always accurate, as cyclists know only too well. The weather can change very rapidly, too; and a ride that began in the sunshine can end in the pouring rain. Hence the reference to flip of the coin!
