Well, I agreed to meet A2 at the shop this morning for a bike ride as long as it was not raining. We agreed on 7, which meant that I needed to leave the house at 6:30. That might be easy for some people, but… I heard a couple of sprinkles on the roof of our house at 5:45, but got up and out the door anyway. A2 was waiting at the shop, ready to go. So at exactly 7:05, we walked out the door. At exactly 7:06, it started to sprinkle just a tiny bit. We had planned on heading over Sonoma Mountain and the such, but changed our minds and decided it would be best to stay a little closer to the shop in case it really started to rain. Here is a map of our loop. It was almost exactly 25 miles. You will notice that we went around the Cypress/Poplar loop an extra time, and added in Pepper Lane. The down pour started right before we turned on to Roblar Road. We were both in great spirits, and rode back to the shop in the pouring rain with big smiles on our faces.
