And sometimes it's just like this.... and I can walk!

I was dressed and ready to ride when the storm hit.  Lightning and thunder and pouring rain. These powers decided for me.  My riding today would be inside a support vehicle.  Charlie decided to ride his single bike. This would be wonderful for him on a good day, I just worried. He didn't have any rain gear, not that it would help in this monsoon.  Although the PfP group was on the road ahead of him, I knew there were about 15 thousand other cyclists he could follow. 

Our resident doctoral student in biochemical engineering was also on transport today.  She had bad road rash from a a serious wreck the same day of my mishap. As we rode along on the pickup she asked me if the cycling helped my Parkinsons.  I  explained to her that I sleep better, sometimes my handwriting is better.  At that point we came to a stop in the parking lot of a convenience store. I jumped out and scurried, somewhat jogging across the parking lot with no assistance from trekking poles.  "AND SOMETIMES ITS JUST LIKE THIS AND I CAN WALK!"  I called to her across the parking lot.

Yeppérs. A true benefit of biking.

Sometimes I can walk.
