Weekend Workouts - April 15/16

First “Cafe Ride” of the year, solo. DH busy with yardwork .. felt bad but I got to ride as 500miles trip is coming up soon.
Came across a rider on my way to the Cafe, chatted away as we were heading to the same direction and he got a flat. Stayed with him as I wasn’t in a hurry. After showing him where the Cafe (many riding groups use this spot to stop by or starting point), I spent half hr or so to enjoy a coffee and bagel. Well the storm wasn’t supposedly hitting until 2pm-ish but it was very wrong. Started seeing some drops a few miles into the return then DS called. Didn’t want to miss talking to him (and my AirPod not working well to speak to) so put him on a speaker phone and I rode singlehanded in the rain on the horrible potholed dirt road for 40min!!! It was great to catch-up with him since I saw him in japan . He isn’t in a hurry to actually tie a knot (phew!) prob in a few years. Needless to say I was caked with mudd and cell phone got really dirty too
I was happy how I rode in spite of all these on ave 13.3mph for 35miles.
