Here Comes the Rain Again

I was really enjoying our brief reprieve from the near constant rain. Yesterday morning I walked to work, meandering a little to walk up Octavia Boulevard and through Civic Center to enjoy the sunlight.
Now the sun is gone again. The latest storm began a few minutes ago with a downpoor I could hear and almost feel as it hit roof of my office.
This latest storm is expected to last through the weekend and threatens to cancel a 42 mile training ride to Fairfax I'm leading. Cycling in the rain is no fun, but the winter has changed the standards I had for what I'll ride in. This might be very wet, but I'm still committed to riding every mile from here to LA and it takes training to get there.
I've also set a goal of raising $12,000 this year, which will fund critical AIDS services in the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout California. Please support the fight against AIDS by supporting me with a donation.

Best of luck with the weather tomorrow morning. I was going to head over to SF for the weekend rides, but the weather looked just too darned iffy.
Instead, I'm off to Coalinga for a nice, fully supported, rather easy 100km ride, and then if I'm up to it, I'm heading across the hills to US 101, where on Sunday I hope to conquer both Quadbuster and the Evil Twins, so I'll know what those things are like. (And probably, like I've been told repeatedly, I'll just say, "That's all?")
And congrats on making at least your fundraising minimum. Keep at it!
