The rain did stop us ... Castro to a little bit

Ride Time: 55:02
Distance: 10.91 miles
Average: 11.90 mph
Fastest Speed: 21.30 mph
Ascent: 614 feet
Descent: 573 feet

I was so looking forward to a 72-mile training ride with Facilitator: Joseph Collins and Co-leaders: Buz Miller, Chuck Louden, Lee Hawn. About 40 of us were so ready and we did ride out at 8am with a bit of drizzling and then the ride was stopped about 20 minutes into the ride, shortly after I was almost hit by a driver running a stop sign - IN THE RAIN. When training was called off because of the unsafe conditions cold, windy rain would pose for us on the Golden Gate Bridge, a group of us decided to go on (Jose (Pepe) Sanchez, Terry Beswick, James Casad and Andrew). As you can see, not too far. But still kinda, sorta had fun biking in the rain and being wet and feeling puddles in ones shoes with each down stroke.

AND, why, oh why didn't any seasoned cyclist ever tell me that when one rides in the rain you get a simulated enema with the water splashing, not on, but almost into the crevice of your derrière - what a feeling!

See I was in the rain ...
