Racing in the Rain (Almost)

On June 4th I was signed up to race the Cat. 1/2/3's race, at 2:45, at the Dash for Cash Criterium in Pleasanton, CA. In the years before, when we go to this race, the worst it has gotten has been light sprinkles and mid to high 60's. This year was not like any years before, in that the weather report was low 60's and 90% chance of rain. But, at around 9:00, my older brother, younger brother, and my dad drove to Santa Rosa, Ca to buy a car for my older brother. When they left my dad told me to get the bikes ready to go so that when they get back we could all leave right away. I finished getting the bikes cleaned, wheels on, and lunch packed at about 10:00. I sat around the house for the next three and a half hours, until I got a phone call from my older brother. He said they were still filling out paper work and they were not going to make it in time to make the races. So, I decided to unpack all the things I had already packed up many hours earlier. This took a long time because I was so bumbed-out that I was not going to race with my teammate Marcus Smith. An hour into my unpacking I realized that the next day was Dunlap Time Trial in Davis ,Ca, and Marcus was signed up for that race as well. I got so happy I almost threw the bananas into the freezer. The rest of my day was happy and I was in Davis in no time.
