Wife - "When are you leaving for your rally thing?"

Me - "This summer, it is still a few months away."

Looks at calendar...8 weeks!

I've been trying to fine-tune my setup and get out to ride as much as I can. My biggest focus area right now is to get some time riding in the rain (I live near Seattle, cue the laugh track), at night and in the rain at night. I feel like those are the skills that decline the most for me since I seldom look for opportunities to do any of that.

So 8 more weeks until the bike is headed east. Seems like a while, but I suspect it will fly by quickly.
