Raining outside...

After having two good days for mountain bike riding, today has dawned rainy and cold. I awoke early this morning to the sound of pouring rain. Right now I am looking out on our lake that is brimming over its banks. The water is over half way up past the canoe. The wood that marks the boundary of the water's edge is floating away. And it is still coming down. And it is a cold rain too. I walked to the garage through the run-off. Wow! That was cold water. It really has been the year for rain. I don't know how many inches of rain above average but it seems nature is making up for those years of drought. Those drought years made for good bike riding. Perhaps there will soon be a break in the weather and we can get back to training for the Safari. It is only 114 days away now.
