got rained on the whole way.  consciously decided on no rain gear.  got wet on arms and thighs... had it started raining harder or dropped a few °s, I would've stopped and rain geared it up.  I think I saw a couple bicycle dudes/dudettes on Clark...  It sure gets lonely out there in the cold and rain.

Had my first, full round-trip commute ride on Friday since breaking my ankle on 3/23.  Still wearing the boot since the muscles and tissue around my ankle still feel tender.  I don't feel confident on supporting all my weight on it or dealing with lateral movements yet.  But the ride felt good.  Rode again this morning.  Just had to wear a plastic bag over the boot.  I'm going without the boot in the office, but taking it slow.

@jeffb - rock on with your plastic booted self! That's great news!

Maybe one of them was me.  I saw a few on Clark too.  One guy smiled when he passed me and said "Great day for a ride!"

I rode this morning but I had a voice in my head saying "turn around" that kept getting louder and louder.  Whether that was due to it being Monday or the rain I can't be sure.  But that was unpleasant to the point of tempting me to take the train home tonite.

I found the ride in today surprisingly pleasant. At 7:30, the wind on LFT was negligible and the rain was not very cold. I really enjoy the parts of the path that diverge from LSD as it was peaceful with the falling rain.

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified, but then I see the look in your eyes.

I see dead people... in the driving rain.

And now that voice is singing.  Thank you so much.
