Day 30 #30DaysOfBiking: It's officially a wrap! Despite a downpour in the night and forecast for high chance of rain, I got to ride to HQ at 7:40am and back to home office at 12:30pm without putting on rain gear. Brisk breeze made me glad I was moving myself, e-bike saved me from being late for an 8:00 a.m. meeting with that little extra boost when I needed it.

#Coffeeneuring #7 for reals this time, and a great finish it was. Met up with Stefanie Randolph, who was on my first coffeeneuring ride of this year. Biked to pick up some paint, stopped at Bar Francis for our coffee beverages, then biked to my house where she helped me paint two rooms. Very happy with the day and so happy to have such a great friend! 7.53 miles in sun and in drizzle.

[Edit: I misnumbered up above! I'm not done yet!]

#Coffeeneuring #7: I did it! Rode downtown to a ladies' brunch to celebrate my birthday. Coffee may have been accompanied by mimosas along with a great meal at Octapas. Sunshine on the way there, a little drizzle riding home later that couldn't dampen my spirits.

#Coffeeneuring #6 more: OK, I spoke too soon on #RideInTheRain. Friend came by and chatted as I finished my latte. We went to bookstore, home furnishings, and clothing store and had some fun. I may have a new hat. And books. Then I went to get groceries and the skies opened up while I was inside. Fortunately it cleared off to rainbow weather and veggie mister by the time I rode home. 7.77mi for the day. #BikeTooter #BicyclesChangeLives #BikeEverywhere #SingingInTheRain #BikeOLY

#Coffeeneuring #6: Waited for the morning rain to stop, headed out in breezy fall sunshine for errands and a stop at the Owl's Nest in downtown Olympia for a pumpkin spice latte. Fall riding is so delightful! So many beautiful colors. Plan it right and I don't have to #RideInTheRain just because it's November.

I like historical recaps so I put one together on my #coffeeneuring track record so far. It's spotty. But no cup of coffee or bike ride is ever a bad idea.

Question for year-round bike riding folk: Do you have a rain cape or poncho? What brand and what do you like/dislike about it? I'm looking at options. My Wander Wrap does okay for bottom half but I want more. http://bikestylespokane.com/2015/12/28/great-gear-for-a-rainy-ride-the-wander-wrap/

I will add that the Olympia Earth Day Market Ride happens rain or shine and currently we do not have shine. Fortunately, I have good gear. #RideInTheRain #BikeOLY #EarthDayMarketRide #BikeLife
