So I skipped my Friday morning ride yesterday since it was pouring rain. I was a little disappointed, but that's life. It was still raining at 6PM when Angela (my girlfriend) arrived, ready to go to the Michael Franti/Spearhead & Built to Spill concert. I was a sort of dreading it, as the sky was dark gray and we were walking down to the show in a light drizzle. I also haven't really listened to Spearhead at all. I was expecting it to be a little more reggae, but it wasn't (I'm not a huge reggae fan). After we got into the show and got a bite to eat and a beer, the rain stopped and we didn't feel another drop all night long. The show was really good, and I even recognized a couple of songs.

With all the rain that fell, the trails have to be in awesome shape. I woke up at 6AM. I ran out to the living room like a kid on Christmas day. I peeked out the window and saw dry spots all over my driveway. Yippee! It wasn't pouring! I quickly got dressed and hopped on the Evolve. I had to be here at work at 9, so I didn't have a whole lot of time. I cruised around Phil's from the trail head. Not a car at the trail head. How could I be the only one seizing the opportunity to ride? Who knew how long the window of clear skies would last (it is supposed to rain for the next few days)? I didn't see a soul until the very end of the ride when I came up on WebCyclery rider Steph U. She was just heading out, but told me that Rob (her husband and our WebCyclery Team Manager) had already been out and forced her to get out on the trails. Wow. He mist have been out REAL EARLY!

Tonight is the Death Cab for Cutie/Decemberists concert. I'm not really into Death Cab for Cutie. I think I can tolerate about 1 or 2 of their songs. Maybe the concert will change my mind. Hopefully it won't be raining. And maybe I can get another MTB ride in after work and before the show.
