A wet ride to a wet activity

There was a high wind warning for south winds in the Willamette Valley this morning.  It wasn't too many years ago when identical weather was predicted (strong south wind and rain) I hopped on the bike and rode 35 miles straight into the wind then turned around a let it blow me home.  I thought it would be perfect training for Furnace Creek 508, I was right.  I'm no longer training, so today I rode with the wind, and only 9 miles, to the hot tub at 24 hr Fitness! It rained quite hard, but it was at my back.  After a long soak I expected to ride back into the wind, but was pleasantly surprised to find the wind had weakened, and the rain had tapered off.  Most of my ride back was dry.  I stopped at Performance Bicycles to get two new 28mm tires and new brake pads for my rain bike.  Maybe the bike will stick to the road better, and stop when needed now.
