You saw that "Frosty" Nelson responded(what's scary...I think he's serious). The only 2 rbent people that I know that would ride tonight are EV & Nelson. I'll ride Saturday when it will be 70 degrees.

I was out on the Fusion (Gigi) and except for a couple of spots on the roads, and a few drivers in Garland, it wasn't too bad. I did have glasses problems with the rain, and they would fog completely opaque every time I stopped (from the humidity generated from my exertion coming from around my eyes), but I managed to get in just over 20 miles.As long as I kept rolling it wasn't too bad, I could use the index finger of my glove to wipe away the misting rain while I was riding and have clear vision for a while, but I shudder to think of what tonight would have been like without eye protection.

I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.
