Rain rain, go away...come back some other day......

Today Tropical Storm Jeanne came through. It literally rained heavy all day long (still raining). We got over 7 inches of rain. Lots of flooding, and a tornado watch. I decided to skip on the bike ride tonight - was torrential rains, too much water on the roads - just too dangerous. So, having no errands to run, and too dangerous to bike - I drove home at 5:30. Took me an hour and a half to go 17 miles. I hate traffic here in the area. If I left at 7:30pm - that drive would take 25 minutes. Which is in addition why I like to go biking - I can spend that time excersizing, seeing the sights, thinking for two hours instead of sitting in traffic grinding my teeth and wasting gas.

The weather should ease up tomorrow. I need to get in a few good long rides between now and the weekend - I have a Century this Saturday in Buckeystown, MD - near Frederick, the Ed Sander Memorial Bike Ride - It's a nice event, but tragic for the reason it exists. Ed Sander was a devoted father and an avid bicyclist - in 2001, he was fatally injured on one of his daily training sessions. The bike ride 10, 25, 36, 50, 75 and 100 mile routes) is to raise money for his (only) son's college fund. The other thing I'm planning on doing is planning/backing up everything on this computer - it's in dire need to be reformatted (will do that the following weekend).
