Soft Rain, Thank God

My brother in law in Ireland introduced me to the saying, "It's a soft rain, thank God." I took it to mean, be thankful it's only a misty sort of day, for it could be raining buckets. And that's what we've been having most of the week, soft rain -- thank God. For I can still get out and ride my bike in the mist.

The Boston Brain Tumor Ride is over, why am I still riding my bike? Especially when it's raining outside. It's cool (not in the summer heat). It's calming. It's peaceful. It's relaxing.

We ride (or run, swim, walk, whatever) not because it is doing us good, we do it because we enjoy it and can not help ourselves.

Press on.

Exactly, I ride because I must.
