Wishing I could ride

I woke up this morning with a glimmer of hope that the weather gods would cooperate and allow me to ride to work but they didn't cooperate.

At least today I was prepared to ride. Yesterday I wasn't ready as the previous nights news said it would rain and it didn't. This time of year it's hard to get out and ride with any regularity but I could sure use it as I'm getting a little pudgy in the middle. This seems to happen this time of year anyway but it's worse than ever right now as I'm heavier than ever.

I will probably ride tomorrow and Friday as it isn't supposed to rain and it seems the best thing to do since parking is a huge issue at the hospital were I'm working on call. I probably would have still ridden today but my only bike isn't equipped for wet weather and I would rather not ride to work with a wet dirty strip of mud up my back side.

This past summer I sold my wet weather bike to help pay my bills. I was still in an apartment and paying rent. Things got to the nitty gritty because I wasn't working and was living off of the remainder of a student loan. I'm currently living rent free but I still don't have many funds to my name and trying to get that type of bike back to ride in poor weather is a bit out of my means. I do miss that bike though, especially now.

Okay this has gotten to the point of just rambling on and on so I'm gonna just end it. Maybe, next time I post I'll have a commute under my built.
