Starting tour ride in rain

[maillotpois]

Solvang double century 2006 - probably 160 of 200 miles in the rain, beginning about mile 20. Davis 400k last year - most of it in the rain, let's just leave it at that. (The only really nice weather was the first part of the return where V joined me.) 600k in 2006 had only 15 miles in the middle in the rain, but so hard I thought I wouldn't be able to breathe.

It's definitely harder to start in the rain or when you know rain is imminent than to keep going if it starts raining in the middle.

I'll work on blowing the clouds the other way.

Wishing you a good ride. Be safe.
