Wet, Cold, but not so Miserable

[elfs]

I rode my bike to and from work today. It was surprisingly pleasant going in, and I had far less physical trouble this time than the last time I rode, almost a month and a half ago. I don't know why; maybe the randomly interspersed circuits of squats, push-ups, and sit-up are working on my stamina better than I expected.

The ride home was different. It was wet. Soaking, actually, with a cold rain that contrasted nicely with the effort I was putting out. It's only a four-mile ride altogether, but I enjoyed it and was home soon enough. A few people tried to kill me on Second Ave downtown, but not enough to be memorable. And riding through Pike Place Market is always fun; there are so many interesting things to see there.

Maybe I'll ride again tomorrow. But I'll check the weather report first.

I don't know that it would do any good, but have you tried a recumbent? I gave up on riding my upright because of the the way I fit on the seat, but the tadpole I got (a Sun Bicycles EZ-Tadpole CX) is a lot easier to ride for any length of time -- full support under my ass and across my back is enormously more comfortable.
