As the remains of Hurricane Frances hit the Mon Valley, we can expect lots and lots of rain for the next couple of days. Yesterday’s ride home was an adventure, as I left just as it really started to pour. There was at least 2 inches of rain on most of the roads, and I got doused by a wave thanks to a lake that had formed on Smallman Street. The ride in today wasn’t bad, and I wisely slapped on the rear fender so at least my butt was dry.

In other bike news, I’ve spied a good deal for a used track bike on eBay, so hopefully I’ll have a new ride soon. I did my homework this time and contacted people who had bought from this seller before, and his references are good, so I’m going for it.
