Guess what I got in the mail yesterday. Out of guesses? My MRI appointment date. No, not next week, or the week after. Not even next month! UGH! Sept 30th! That's 3 months away! I figure that I'll keep the appointment 'in case' I've managed to injure myself again by then. *knocking on wood* please do the same for me :D

I hummed and hawed about making the drive out to meet the cycling group for our Tuesday night ride. Since I swam and ran Monday, I figured it would be nice to get a ride in, especially since Sunday was a short but hilly ride, this route would have been flat. This whole week has been raining off and on... but was bright sunshine when I left the house. By the time I got to the 'parking lot', 40k away, it was eerily dark, and I was the lone car. Finally about 10 minutes later, someone else showed up and we agreed to wait about 15 minutes to see where the clouds would be heading. Another 2 people came (usually we have about 20-30) so we got out of the car to chat. Just like a cruel joke, the rain drops started to fall, the thunder started to roll, which only solidified our decision to say goodbye until Saturday.

Not a total bust though... learned something new. Women specific designed bike frames do not fit all bike racks for the car. One of the girls hadn't figured out how to get her bike into the car, bought a car rack, but it didn't fit. She came without her bike... happened to be similar to mine, so we played around with it for a bit, mine wouldn't fit either. Who woulda thought!

This was the view looking to the south, where I came from.

This is looking to the west... pictures really don't do it justice, but the sky was so dark.

By the time I drove back, brought my bike back into the house, figured out what to eat, changed, walked to the grocery store, made dinner and ate, I decided it would be a rest day (got a little lazy, caught up on some blogs and working on my training plan a bit). Jay and I are hoping to get out for a ride since neither of us are working on Canada Day... let's hope the rain holds off long enough!
