Training Log Archive: cmorse

Day off, planning to do some mapping, but Hayden came down sick so I stayed home with him instead. Got a bit of drafting done on some unfinished field notes, so not a total loss. Working the weekend though, so not likely to get back out in the woods until next week. But hope to get quite a bit of work done in the next couple of weeks.

pre-dawn run up to Crystal Lake to retrieve the van from the shop. Kind of a pain as I was also carrying a bag of work clothes so I could shower and change when I got to work..

rainy commute... van still in the shop...

An hour of pelting, wind driven rain at 45F, streams washing debris down the shoulders. The true defintion of good times...

Got home and fired up the pellet stove - may bring the bike in to dry it off by the stove too....

Car in the shop, had set up the cannondale to commute. Got the lights running as it was pretty gloomy out. got down to the end of the road and applied the brakes and slid right through the intersection. Of course I set the bike up on a nice day and totally forgot that the rim brakes on this bike totally suck when wet. Talked myself out of persevering and turned around and headed home. Will go in late and have Ellen drop me off instead.

Will transfer the lights etc back over to the bent and commute on that instead as it has solid disk brakes on it. But not today...
