Woke early to light rain showers and the question quickly became "should I attempt today's century?" I convinced myself that I would make the drive to southern Indiana for the the century. I decided the worst thing that could happen would be the ride would be cancelled or the ride would be shorten given weather. Only 5 club members decided to attempt today's century but each is a very strong rider and four of us had completed yesterday's century (a hilly one at that). It was decided we would ride to the first store stop and decided what to do at that point so off we went. The route was nice a flat and the pace was quick. We arrived at the store stop and we debated what to do. Locals told us the heavy rain/wind/lightning would not arrive until late in the day, the radar screen on a cell phone showed a massive storm front moving in our direction. We decided to ride out another 10 miles and make a decision there and off we went. The winds had picked up and the skies were growing dark so ten miles out we made the call - turn around and head back to our cars and so we started the back tracking. A light rain started with about ten miles to go but the wind was blowing strong. I was glad the decision had been made to turn back for I was not looking forward to yet another century where we had to fight the wind and ride in the rain. We arrived safely back at our cars a tad bit wet but all happy with the decision. In the end we logged 62.6 miles - so our 100 mile century became a metric century - not bad. Time to shower and crawl on the couch for I'm really tired.
