So I depart from the former #1 bike friendly city to the new #1, Minneapolis.  I do look forward to riding my bike in a blizzard.

So I wake up early to run to the store for my wife, no big deal as it was clear and sunny but you could tell it had been raining earlier.  I hit the store and on my way back I see a puddle in the bike path.  Again, no big deal because I know this stretch of road and it is pretty level so I think to myself that I’ll just peddle through.  Big mistake.  The puddle was deeper than it looked and my shoes and pant cuffs get soaked.  No major disaster.  So I stop by the house and drop off the package for my wife and head into work.

At this point it is still clear and in the distance I do not see any rain clouds.  The first half of the commute was great but then it starts raining.  Not heavy but persistent enough so that by the time I locked my bike up at work my shoes and pants are soaked again.  Luckily as I am writing this post everything is starting to dry out.  Because as you all know, it sucks having we feet at work.

It is 7:47 am and I am about to get ready to ride my bike to the doctor’s office for more tests.  Fun.  I have been lucky because so far none of the tests have required me to bend over and cough and nothing has been inserted into my butt.  So, after the bike ride I am looking forward to some coffee and then I have to get the kitchen cleaned up so the maintenance man can come over and fix the water heater.

And to top it all off, I have the next three days off!
