For the first time in like forever, there’s no more rain in the long-range forecast. Which of course was no help to us this morning, as Kevin and I managed to get in a wet ride that ended with blue skies.

As was the case last Thursday, we got about halfway up Kings before having to put on our rain jackets. Not too cold, with the temp only briefly fluttering to 39.8. Wet, messy, and once or twice I caught myself thinking, is it really sensible to trust such skinny tires descending at 30mph in the rain, when some of our customers won’t do more than 25 when it’s dry?
