Rain, part II
It was supposed to rain this afternoon. Instead we had a few breaks in the clouds from about 1 pm until about 5 pm.
Tim and Emma were at a birthday party, and Nathalie took Diane on an errand. I tried to paint the ceiling in the bathroom downstairs, but realized I was going to have to strip all the old paint off or it wouldn't work. By that time I'd already painted part of the ceiling, so I decided to go out for a ride before the rain came back again.
I did a short circuit, something on the order of 25-30 km, out through Pontcharra, around to Montmélian, back up to Les Marches and through Chapareillan to Barraux. Most of that is flat, or nearly flat, so I took the few hills in pretty big gears.
My hands were cold when I got back, despite my fall gloves, which are rated for -5 Celsius.
