It really looks like Toronto has inherited Vancouver's weather, at least for today (Sunday) and the upcoming week. I definitely don't like riding in the rain, but I did learn to do it in Vancouver (or I wouldn't have ridden three seasons out of the year). Now the irony is that last Thurs. and Fri. were quite nice, but Thurs. I didn't have to go to work and just did some walking around the neighbourhood. I could have ridden in to work on Friday, but I was giving a conference talk and needed access to Zoom (and this is still blocked at work due to some outdated risk assessments from early in the pandemic...). So I really didn't have any choice but to stay home.
Now I could have ridden more on Saturday, though I did the grocery shopping early, then helped my daughter build a science project, then went to the gym, then looked one more time at the science project. So it was a fairly busy day overall, and I actually did take a nap in the afternoon, instead of going off to a museum or the library or downtown. I did end up taking a quick spin down to Queen to pick up dinner, but that was pretty much it.
I felt somewhat desperate for more exercise, so I biked downtown today, despite the rain. I just hope that going back it isn't too slippery (or dark!). Anyway, I'm hoping the forecast is wrong and next week we have a few more clear days than they are projecting right now (or even overcast days where it doesn't really rain).
