Riding When You Can

We are several days into the official rainy season. It is the "official" rainy season because it has been announced, and only another announcement from the weather forecasters will signal the end of the official rainy season.

As you can see from the many previous posts that talk about the rain, we have to ride in every narrow window of opportunity that we have. Luckily, the long summer days make this easy - the sky is light by 4:30 am and doesn't get dark again until 7:30 or so. If it isn't pouring rain, we get out. Yesterday, after work and before a little welcome party for a new arrival, we did a ride usually reserved for the weekend - 10km uphill! Such a hard ride meant that we had to stumble to the izakaya on tired legs but it made the beer taste oh-so-sweet!

It is a joy just to find the time some days. 10K uphill though - ouch.

We can't even begin to imagine the endurance you two have and choose to demonstrate regularly!!
