I decided to skip it today, and left the bicycle home. The weather this morning wasn\’t at all conducive to cycling!

At around 3 am, I woke to a T-storm. There was another T-storm in progress a couple of hours later, when I got up. I checked NOAA at around 6:45; and also my email. I get severe weather alerts via email; and sure enough, there was an alert about strong T-storms.

We also had a flash flood warning, and that was bad news. I didn’t want to risk having to ride through water up to my bicycle wheels’ hubs, so I didn’t ride to work. It also isn\’t pleasant trying to get a bicycle hooked to a rack during a downpour. Yes, I know – May is Bike Month; but sometimes we need to skip it.

It wasn’t raining very hard when I left home, but it steadily got worse; and by the time I reached work, it was pouring. At 8:45, the sun was out. Forty-five minutes later, things were looking very gloomy again. Weather is so fickle!

When I left work for the day, the sun was out again. There\’s still some chance of further T-storms tonight; but it looks like tomorrow morning might be OK for a ride. I hope so, because Wednesday looks like it will be as bad as today. They don\’t expect it to clear up before Friday.

My legs felt stiff and tired today. Was it because I rode 45 miles yesterday; or have my legs become too unaccustomed to walking? Back when I first got the adult trike, and immediately fell in love with riding, I told myself that I mustn\’t forget how to walk. It looks like maybe I really have forgotten how to walk!
