After lunch I decided to head to the Knob. Driving north the clouds on the horizon had me wondering if I should call KT and ask for a lookup on the weather forecast and radar status. I declined to do so and pulled into the parking lot, the only car there on a Monday afternoon.
Two days ago I got in a lap and found the rearranged beginning a bit of a surprise. Ryan had told me about it, but it took me a little bit of head turning to understand what had been done. I think I liked it better before but I'm sure the old route will be forgotten before long.
The overpass is now in play.
A couple days ago I felt really good and thought I was handling the bike well. It seems I had a slower start today but I got the feel back. I'm still liking the new tire on the rear, though I did had one chain drop with the new Jump Stop today.
They don't call it Junk Hill for nothin'.
I came out of the woods into the Furnace and was greeted by some threatening skies. Back to the car? No, I'll ride until it rains. I finished out the lap dry. Try for another? Oh yeah. The second time around I was feeling good and the view up the Furnace was starkly calmer. Nice day for a ride.
Lap 1... not looking good.
Lap 2... no worries.
On the way home I called KT. "How wet are you?" was her first question. Apparently there was a torrential downpour or two at home. She had looked at the radar map and was certain I was drenched. Thankfully not! At least not this time.
