Back home - it rained like a mofo and now it's 72 out. Feels fan-freaking-tastic.

Stormed HARD in Wichita last night....a little ovah 2" of rain in about a half hour....along with some 70mph straight line winds. At this point, some wind damage is a reasonable trade for some much needed rain.

Didn't really mind riding in the heat yesterday . . . on my way home from the dealership . . .

I finally took off my luggage from last weekend and cleaned the chain so I could ride today. It wouldnt be so bad if the wind didnt feel like a blow dryer in your face. Temps would be better if there wasnt 10,000 miles of concrete/asphalt and shingles every where.
