 Polar Vortex
Took that last few days off as the polar air reached into Florida. Temperature really wasn't bad by northern standards being a balmy forty five degrees but coupled with twenty plus wind and high humidity it was nasty enough for me to wait it out. It warmed back up today into the seventies, and I thought I might be able to get a short ride in between the showers and heavy rains. The ride started out well with a tail wind along the dike trail. After a couple of miles though I started to hit small pockets of misty rain. Ride went from tolerable to not a very good idea after making the turn at the end of the trail and heading back along the road. Had a long delay for road construction that eventually doomed me to another two soakers ride as heavy rain hit for the last three miles of the very short ride. Not sure how long it will take me to dry out.
