Then it hit me.
They're looking at me wondering the same thing. "Who would ride their bike in the rain? This guy must be a lunatic."
The truth is, I love to ride my bike in the rain. It's a unique experience. It changes the mundane into a new adventure. And for the fair-weather golfer, I suppose that playing in foul weather is a fun change for them, as well. They're dedicated to golf like I am riding. I'm a better person when I ride and I suppose they are better when they play. I solute you and your dedication, rainy golf guys. Way to stick to it.
Get out there.
I agree. I don't care so much to ride TO work in the rain, but I don't mind when home is my destination.
ReplyDeleteI have always believed if you truly love some activity you will do it in any conditions.
@ Chris - The worst part about riding to work in the rain is explaining to everyone how and why you do it. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with (the other) Chris - I don't mind riding home in the rain, but I don't like riding to work. I guess maybe if I always kept a towel and a dry pair of shoes and socks, but that would require a lot of forward thinking and planning, and the weather is too unpredictable for that sort of thing. But recently, I got a folding bike that I can take on the bus if it's raining, and then ride home. This means I can get to work with reasonably dry feet, but I can still ride home when it doesn't matter as much. (Also - bike stays dry during the day - I can store it under my desk!). I've been really happy with it because it's let me ride a lot more than I otherwise would have.
