It's supposed to rain here too. I'll believe it when I see it. Nice recovery run.

From nicole on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 13:00:22 from 24.18.8.34

Burt, you have 10 days to do 186 miles. Totally doable. Just 18.6 miles per day - eaassssyyy! GO FOR IT!

From RAD on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 16:02:48 from 67.172.229.125

Hope the rain stayed away during the ride!

From Burt on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 16:11:46 from 206.19.214.144

Rhett - o ye of little faith.

Nicole - I think I'll wait 'til the last day like I always do and try to crank all 186 out then.

RAD - It was dry on the ride to work. We'll see about they way home.

From allie on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 17:04:06 from 174.23.238.75

you know what they say -- "if you can't ride to work in the rain..."

From Burt on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 17:19:46 from 206.19.214.144

Why do you automatically assume I know what they say? The fact of the matter is I do not know what they say. So please, enlighten me.

From Burt on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 17:20:57 from 206.19.214.144

Nevermind. I just looked it up on Urban Dictionary. Now I know what they say.

From allie on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 17:34:23 from 174.23.238.75

i knew you would figure it out.

From april27 on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 20:29:34 from 99.188.251.180

Why not go to work in the rain! I hope it is okay that you looked like a hot mess when you got there!

And what is this urban dictionary thing about?

From seeaprilrun on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 21:30:16 from 68.103.250.10

I just don't have a clever comment but nice potentially wet bike ride anyway and nice run.

From Burt on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 21:43:15 from 72.223.84.236

April - Urban dictionary is where I learn all the lyrics to the teeny bopper songs.

April - There were a few drops on the way home. Not too much though.

From allie on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 21:51:04 from 174.23.238.75

urban dictionary. WAY more reliable than wikipedia.

From ChrisM on Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 07:10:45 from 82.20.234.157

sometimes urban dictionary has too much information....

From Burt on Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 11:14:46 from 206.19.214.144

allie - it is the source of all truth and knowledge.

Chris - urban dictionary has taught me that instead of saying too much information, I can just say TMI. It has also taught me the appropriate times to use said expression.

From nicole on Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 14:45:36 from 128.208.244.70

I really want to know but I can't figure it out! What do I search for?

From Burt on Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 15:13:43 from 206.19.214.144

Nicole - just do a search on your name. That should be good enough.

From RivertonPaul on Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 16:33:34 from 67.42.27.114

So, did it rain on the way home?

From Burt on Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 16:54:24 from 206.19.214.144

There were a few drops on the way home. Not too much though.

From runningafterbabies on Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 18:51:51 from 24.10.211.135

Did you stay dry?

From Burt on Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 19:35:25 from 206.19.214.144

I stayed dry as a baby's diaper.
