So much rain! I'm in So Cal ... the news said we have equaled normal ANNUAL rainfall totals in the past two weeks alone -- something along the lines of 15 inches, but don't quote me on that. Rain 10 ou of the last 14 days ... by last night I was stir crazy!!! I was pacing, the dog was insane with boredom and we both had so much pent-up energy we were driving the boyfriend to the brink. I went home and cleaned my bike. Again.

Now, I'm purely recreational. I don't race or compete ... I love to ride but I don't ride in the rain or if it's below the Cold Zone .... but CRIKEY I want to go outside! I'm trying to stay in shape for the Tour de Palm Springs this February, and some dry days sure would help!

I don't know how you rainy-climate folks do it ... I'm sure it's attitude and getting used to it, but jeepers I'm used to warm and dry!

Trying to stay positive ... it's a good opportunity for cross training!
