I am at the airport now, with time to dispense as I didn't make it on the 12:30 flight (I'm on standby). The next flight is at 4:38 and that one looks promising.
I knew the ride today would be a MDRR - Minimum Daily Requirement Ride - as I had a busy morning ahead of me, still needing to pack. I hopped on the bike, riding under the influence of a headlight, the eastern sky just barely showing some light. When I started out, the sky was mostly hidden by clouds. But, quickly, clouds were parting up above, leaving a blanket of clouds draped on all horizons. The moon became visible but the sun still had at least a half hour before rising. I rode back and forth along a mile stretch of neighborhood road, with the wind blowing 15 - 25 miles per hour from the south.

As the sky began to lighten, a battle of sorts seemed to be brewing between the sun and the moon. A tug of war for the clouds in the sky and a claim for who would control the weather that day. From the beginning, the sun, still below the horizon, dominated with the majority share of clouds hovering in storm-like fashion above the eastern horizon. On the west, the clouds were more tempered, wispy, quietly coming and going and sometimes completely abandoning the moon so that she(?) stood all alone in the sky. The moon made one was last grand stand and managed to draw a small swell of clouds about her. But the sun was too strong and very cocky in its dominance and role it played it today's weather. Just before showing a peek of itself, the sun drew in hard and sucked any last vestiges of clouds from the moon's surroundings.
Today's Ride: 64 mins. 12.07 miles. 53 degrees. Miles YTD: 898.01
