I don’t know why I do this, but I almost reflexively check weather forecasts while getting ready for a bike tour. And while we are touring if we find ourselves in a motel room it is just about mandatory to spend a bit of time with The Weather Channel. It’s really rather silly because we are going to ride no matter what, and once you’re out there it is rather obvious whether it is raining or not, and thus whether to put the rain covers on the panniers or not. So why waste all this energy wondering about the weather? I don’t know; maybe just because I’m human and I am looking for an oracle to tell me the future.

Anyway, it looks like we stand a pretty good chance of getting caught out in a thunderstorm or two sometime in the first few days of our tour. And it looks like we’ll enjoy sunny weather, and hot, coming up to the big Independence Day weekend. I wonder where we’ll be on the Fabulous Fourth!
