The weather here in the midwest is driving me crazy! It's still cold, no sunshine, horrendously windy, and now the prediction is for rain the next 5 days out of six! The last two rides, I fought winds of 20 mph, gusts even higher, that try to blow you off the road or else onto the road into traffic. Much as I love to ride, it's been difficult to get myself out there. And difficult to enjoy riding once I'm there. Okay, that's my vent. Thanks for listening, my family is tired of hearing me complain........

I keep trying to think of future rides, when it will be warmer, how I want to keep riding strong, but it's not helping much. Any ideas for motivation to get me out there even in crummy weather? All my riding companions have been backing out, waiting for better weather so they are no help.

whine, whine, whine... I am really done now.
