[OHPV-list] OHPV-list Digest, Vol 28, Issue 2

[tha_capt]

tha capt here ~

I did - what I said I wouldn't - and am glad I did.

I had already decided that if the weather wasn't down pouring I was going to 
make it to the annual New Years day ride from water front park to Laurel 
Hurst park. Checking the weather forecast the night before and talking with 
fellow bike riders I told them I probably wouldn't ride because of sloppy 
weather. I woke up around 10:am - pulled the blinds open - and yes - it 
looks pretty darn inviting. Quickly get into some riding gear - put 2006 air 
in the tires - open the garage door and it's pouring :-0. Look around he 
corner and see it's only a shower passing through so by the time I get out 
the door it has stopped. There were about a hundred riders "quessing" at the 
traditional New Years Day meeting place (Battle Ship Mast). This ride is 
very social and a means to start a new riding season with  - officialility - 
"new word".  More showers came but missed us for the most part. Hey - I even 
got back home without getting wet. Bike is still fairly clean so it was a 
"BC comic strip" effort to bring in the new year.

"still dodging rain drops"

later ~
