now, i'm not one to let a little rain deter me normally. i really don't mind riding in rain that much, especially the nice, light rain we get around here. and it hasn't been just that. there have been other factors. i've had things to carry or deliver that wouldn't fit on the bike, or i've had late nights at work, or i've just been tired. the rain has certainly not helped, though. i'm planning on riding to work tomorrow. i really am. i need a kick in the butt to get back on this thing.
i've been thinking about the next trip to plan, however, which has been fun. i'm trying to get my brothers and dad on board for a biking brewery tour of belgium. i think that would be an excellent vacation. nice easy days on the bike, try the local brew, stumble to the b and b and sleep in before doing it again. belgium is supposed to be a beautiful country and i hear they take their beer pretty seriously. all good things.
anyway, here are some more pictures from the road. these first few are from new mexico. another one from the lovely straight plains (this is the kind of road i got my speeding ticket on. seriously. the cop was the first car i'd seen in about 5 miles) and one of the thunderstorms i was trying to outrun when i got ticketed. it was really cool how you could just sit there watching the thunder and lightning storm slowly moving across the plains, staying perfectly dry and warm where you are. a phenomenon we don't get in the northwest.
this last one is from arkansas, which was one of the pleasant surprises of the trip, scenery-wise. this is just another lovely river i passed over while crossing through the southern part of the state.
that'll do it for now since this takes me up to orlando, and there are a lot of pictures from universal studios to sort through. i'll find some good ones for the next post. hopefully i'll have some riding to report as well.
rftc,
scott
