Rain behind and and drizzle in front of me. The overcast sky did not look that threatening when I started the ride but by the 2.3 mile point the rain started and I took refuge in the gazebo in a park on the route. After about 10 minutes the rain stopped and the streets dried off enough to get biking again. Things looked decent for about 6 miles then I started to get in some drizzle. Looking in my rear view mirror the clouds looked dark. I did not want to ride into more rain so I shortened the route and headed back home. The rain held off but there were a few patches of drizzle. About 45 minutes after I got home the sun finally showed up but it didn’t last long. The temperature now staying in the 70’s and should remain there or higher this week. At least I got some biking in. Maybe more biking tomorrow.
