Yesterday I used one of my superpowers.
You see, mid-life transgenders who write bike blogs (yes, all whom you know!) have special secret powers that no one else has.
Those powers are so rare and so secret that you are learning about one of them only because you’re reading this blog.
Yesterday I managed to pedal under an opaque ceiling of clouds all the way to Point Lookout and most of the way back without encountering any rain. I made sure of that.
Really, I did. How? I twitched my nose. See…there was a benefit to that fight I got into when I was thirteen years old after all! I confess, though, that I perfected my technique by watching all of those Bewitched episodes in my youth.
(Now I’m going to make a confession. While growing up, I simply couldn’t stop watching Samantha, the series’ main character or Agent 99 on Get Smart. When pressed, I told peers, parents and others that I had a crush on those characters. That was kinda sorta true. Truth was, I wanted to be them when I grew up.)
Once again, I chose the Point Lookout ride by the wind, which blew out of the south and east. That meant the 60 or so kilometers to Point Lookout took about 45 minutes longer than the same distance back.
But I kept the rain at bay. Really, I did. OK, I had some help from this device:
