Last Training Ride? Lollipop 24 miles, 15.2mph

Too much going on last week for a moderate ride. I replaced a switch housing and switched on the right handle of a motorcycle (now sold). My legs felt the work of crouching and standing for a few hours. The ride today was slow, a little sluggish, less so as it wore on.

There was a huge thunderstorm over Denver last night. It dumped 3 inches in the area and turned the streets into rivers. Cars were stalling out in the deeper water and traffic was a mess. It took me over an hour to go 4 miles. To be fair, I wasn't sitting in traffic waiting to follow lemmings into too deep water. I did that once and parked the car on higher ground for 20 minutes while the rain let off and the water levels came back down.

This storm started about 3:30 and rained hard for almost two hours. The weather reports yesterday (Thursday) suggest much better conditions for the weekend. I wonder. It was humid out today and there are already large clouds outside today at 1:30.
