Hi everyone,

I'll only be online a little while tonight, but if you happen to see this, I would appreciate any input.

I am training for a long climbing ride that is in 2 weeks. Tomorrow is scheduled to be my last long, hard training ride, and I was planning 80 miles over 2 trips up and down my local mountain. It would be a really, really hard ride for me.

The problem is the weather. We have been totally socked in, with low visibility fog, cold rain, and 46 degree temps on this training route. But, it is the only truly sustained climbing...the very best route for my training. And, this weather is supposed to last for several more days.

I need a little encouragement or advice in just sucking it up, putting all my winter clothes back on, and heading out for a long, cold, hard ride tomorrow morning. I SO want to be prepared for my big event in 2 weeks. Help!
