ahead of rainmageddon
supposed to start raining hammers and anvils soon, so my poor bike and outerwear choice had me heading home from work a little early.

ok, coulda used some fenders...
started misting when i got to the end of my driveway, this morning. while it might have been nice to have fenders and raingear, i needed the easy spin on my 32x16.

not enough people saw this view of my bike, today... oh well, i had a hoot. not bad for an old man who didn't train.
