It was a dry day. It was also a dry evening when I prepared to go for a ride. I hopped on the carbon bike for the first time in several hundred miles of riding. The rain bike hung from the hook with a look of despair as I had an ear to ear smile as I pedaled away.
My rain bike has a second set of brake levers on the bars near the stem. My carbon bike has traditional brake levers. I've been riding the rain bike so much lately that it caught me a bit by surprise as I rolled up to a stop sign with oncoming traffic and squeezed the non-existent levers. Oops! Hurriedly grabbed the only brake levers on the bike and came to a stop. Good thing the carbon bike has excellent brakes!
Other than that little issue the only other thing of note on tonight's ride was the sunset. It was spectacular. I did not have a camera with me, but take my word, it was awesome.
I rode my 25 mile night loop then did a few miles of meandering around the better lit side streets of Wilsonville as well as a few laps of big box stores' parking lots.
It was bit chilly, but dry. A good night for a ride.
