Caution: Rant. I really need some kind of help to keep my motivation alive. Seems like it's been one thing after another: in November so far we have had only ONE day without torrential rain and high winds. We have had well over 350mm (over a foot!) of rain, and only five days where the wind has been below 50km/h (30mph). Many days the wind has been at 70-80km/h ( 45-50mph). The sky at noon has been dark as twilight. Trails are a flooded, muddy mess, and road riding in the heavy rain and fog is risky at best. Today it is snowing like this was Banff. And MIL is still in hospital after her stroke, and we have to make some difficult decisions soon regarding her future care.
I have all of maybe 80 km (<50miles) riding total all this month. There were days when I could have gone riding, but didn't for unavoidable reasons, others for complete lack of motivation. There have been many days where riding was impossible. I'm totally fed up with winter. I have zero motivation left. I just want to curl up and sleep until Spring returns, which is still two months away.
Anyway.....
Rant mode off.
