Earlier in the week, we had talked about riding at the end of the week but it was all rain in the forecast. The rain didn't end up being all day storms but it was still hard to predict when and if we could ride. Today the rain stopped right around noon and the roads were already drying soon after. In the late afternoon, after Alissa woke up from her nap, we made the call to ride and still managed to get a good one in. The ride was so “last minute” that Alissa forgot her shoes and I had to lend her some running shoes. 😂 Luckily I had some shoes (not mine) that fit her. There was a beautiful sunset and we raced to try and find a good vantage point to see it as the houses, trees and power lines were blocking it but we couldn't quite find one, and not before the sun set either. On the way over, I ran into Mert walking his dog. I didn't realize he was living in the neighborhood. It was good to see him albeit briefly.
