I am fine. Went on a very wet ride this morning and briefly met a friend of big john. Because conditions were quite wet (unusual here, I am told) I did not have time to socialize. Went to the top of Mandeville and then back home. Heading to USC soon to meet up with daughter #2.

My manager just told me not to report vax status to our employer, as that triggers them to ask us to come back.
My suspicious nature had me doing that anywy.

Your friend seemed pleasant but I did not get a chance to talk to her.
ps she beat me up the hill. I was off the back at the start and only caught/passed two of the riders on the climb. Fun but messy/gritty ride.

I'm finally ready to head up to the roof to batten things down, and I hear thunder in the distance. A stitch in time saves nine. Or some such. On the btight side, the wind prognosis for tomorrow, seems to be more-or-less non-threatening. We're far enough west for it to burn out before arriving here.

She's a great climber, (I'm pretty sure who you met). In 2019 she was in a race put on by Rhassan Bahati, 9000 feet of climbing in 75 miles. A mixed field with local pros, cat 2s, 3s, etc. She finished 3rd woman and 26th of 105 overall and won $100 for her effort. She claims to be out of shape now. pffft.

Sometimes extreme humidity can be a good thing. Gets the sweat rolling before you have a chance to be askeered of it. Third shower of the day completed. There will be at least one more.

you better ask @Velo Vol since he is the last word on things allowed to be called unusual.

Nice!
I received a shipment from The Black Bibs today. I'm trying out their $40 bibs that have gotten a lot of great reviews. They look really good, on first inspection - nice fabric and a cushy chamois.
