  • Biking in the Rain

    Earlier this week, I toted my bike to Sacramento so I could ride to work in Folsom. Sacramento has great bike paths that I didn’t want to miss. My Folsom bike commute is about 5.5 miles each way, only an additional mile over my newer, longer commute route in Hillsboro. And I must admit, the scenery along Nimbus Dam and Lake Natoma is beautiful.

    Apparently, Hillsboro got rain while we were away and it continues still. I resolved not to wimp out. After all, it was only a light sprinkle when I left home in the morning and who cares about getting soppy headed home?1And my rain gear is in my pannier.

    While I rode, I thought how much I enjoy2I was going to list the few negatives, but I will save that for another post. I’m not in the mood. :-) riding in the mist.

    • The bike lanes are rinsed clean, dark, and pretty
    • My tires make a neat, swishy sound on the wet pavement
    • Everything smells better, including my nose
    • My blinky lights seem brighter
    • Cars give me more room
    • There’s lots more room at the bike rack
    • Riding in the rain makes me feel ten years old again

    What do you like about riding in the rain?
