Roger’s reflections and story brought back my memories of riding in the rain. One of the Kinetic Sculpture Race rules is “in case of rain the Race will be held in the rain.” One year it stormed for all three days as I solo pedaled our family sculpture of a pea pod called “Peas de Resistance”for 38 miles over the dunes, a water crossing on the bay with headwinds and barely got up the dreaded slippery slimy slope. The reward was being cheered on by my crew and bystanders and the Glory of completing the course. Riding a bike anywhere is ultimately the motto: “For the Glory”
