Day 222 - Butt Shot

The weather has been crappy the past two days. Drizzle and cold in the 50s. Not great riding weather. So I've been couped up in the house. On Wednesday morning I woke up and wanted to ride bad. The drizzle had let up but it was still cold. I decide to do it and throw on my wind breaker, toe covers, skull cap, and warm gloves and take off. It was cold at first, but I warmed up as I put in the miles. Rode north in the bicycle lane along Conway Ave. in Mission and Highway 107 to Edinburg and back, a total distance of 30 miles. Because of the wet weather there was some mud on parts of the bike lane, which rooster sprayed my bike and my behind. See butt shot. I stop at De Alba's near my house and bought some tamales on the way back. When I got home I popped open a frosty and ate my tamales to celebrate. I had been wanting to do this ride for a while to see if I could handle the commute. If I rode each work day that would be 150 miles a week. I don't think I ready to go that hardcore yet.
