racing the rain


I've heard that El Niño has come to an end. Portland is witnessing the return of wet weather. We've had 3.09 inches of rain so far this month. Doesn't make for good bike riding weather. Today, after 2 hours at dog school, I came home, checked doppler radar for the Portland area and had, what I thought was, a 2 hour window of time to ride the Vista-Council Crest-Fairmont loop from my house. I almost made it. At 3:20, at Council Crest I could see a storm rolling in from the southeast. Hearing thunder I thought I'd better toss out the Fairmont loop and head home. I made it to within a half mile of our house when the sky opened up accompanied by thunder and lightning.
