For this last week I have been riding back and forth into work everyday except for one day. It was raining too hard on one of those days and although I have ridden into work before in the rain I still have not found it easy to get through a ride and stay dry. The poncho I have doesn?t keep all the rain off of my clothes. Its not completely waterproof. After several minutes in heavy rain it will start soaking through. I can?t wait until this weather improves. Any suggestions from others out there who regularly bike in the rainy weather?
I like to take my bike out at lunch to ride around and visit various locations to eat. I am continuing to work on my diet plan. I don?t starve myself. I?m just being more careful about what to eat. I have to watch my glucose levels closely though since if I don?t have enough carbs in a meal, especially for lunch, then by the late afternoon my levels can drop too low. After I have taken the bike around at lunch I feel invigorated after coming back to work and it makes getting through the rest of the afternoon easier. The nice thing about this electric bike is that I can ride as hard as I want then I can rest when needed letting the bike continue on then I can get back to pedaling for a further workout. It doesn?t feel like a hard workout though since it is so fun to ride. I can arrive at work without feeling too tired then I can scream home later having fun all the way and work up a real sweat if I want to.
