Jacob's Ladder my Ass
The skies, they mock me I tell you. Friday night I go pick my bike up at the shop, it's all decked out with brandy new hardware; A new Selle Italia Pro Link saddle, Bontrager Race stem and Shimano 105 drive train (I know, not as sexy and flashy as Dura Ace or Full of Mystique as Ultegra, but it's a good work horse groupo that I can actually afford). I got the bike all adjusted and did a fit with my new shoes ( SIDI Dominator 4's) to make sure everything was as it should be for my riding pleasure. Awesome, now I'm ready to rock! Of course at this point it's getting dark so I figure "no problem, it's only supposed to rain Saturday overnight, I've got 2 days to play with my new stuff". Saturday, It rains like a bastard starting at NOON...NOON mind you, not after 5p.m. like my local weather prognosticator had lead me to believe. OK, whatever, I have a training ride on Sunday at 10A.M., since the rain started so early, it will defiantly clear out by then. Sunday morning comes, It's still cloudy but the streets are starting to dry, Perfect. I check the weather radar on line, look like we have one more little tiny cell coming through..no biggy. So I drive down to Waltham to meet the rest of the crew, once again, the skies open up, now it's raining harder than the day before. To spite my explanation of the situation on radar, the crew bags. (Sigh) OK, I'll just go home and wait for an hour or so, then ride by myself. I wait ....and wait..... and wait. At 3:30 I'm still in my cycling cloths sitting in front of my PC playing World of Warcraft getting REALLY hungry. Seeing as it's still drizzling I say screw it,change out of my gear, take a shower, grab some lunch and a beer. Not 15 minute later, the friggin sun comes out.. AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
