today's xtrasue outfitRode the X to work today, IN THE RAIN! That’s a first for me. Or, it would have been, had it actually been raining. But I THOUGHT it was raining. It sounded like rain from inside my apartment. So I donned my old crappy non-breathable snow pants (because I still can’t find my beloved Goretex XCR pants) and my spiffy new safety orange jacket that I got over the weekend at Clever Cycles, put the orange lenses in my sunglasses, and off I went into the fairly warm and not raining morning.

Riding is so much fun that I’m starting to want to move back to the other side of Mt. Tabor just so I can cross it on the way to work. My commute is too short now at 2.6 miles.

I’m also happy to report that today I had no pain in the lady parts. Yay – it only took a few days to get over the “I – haven’t – been – riding – in – many – months – diaper – rash.”

Here’s a picture of my jacket and helmet hanging on my cube. If you see anyone riding around dressed like this, wave – it might be me!

OK, why can’t I have any freaking paragraphs in WordPress? WTF? What looks like paragraphs in the WYSIWYG editor gets rendered inline, and if I try putting p or br tags in the code, they’re stripped out.  Grrrrrrr.
