Frustrated...

Ah, I can't relate, I'm a car-free commuter. I honestly find biking in the cold windy rain preferable to taking any sort of public transit. And the transit here is nice, I just can't take how slow it is to *walk* to the skytrain then *wait* for a bus. Gotta keep moving.

Same here in Michigan, rain all week has put the crimp on riding. Any nice days we had turned to rain by the time I left work. The bottom fell out of the thermometer and the wind is blowing up a gale. I'll need to bundle up for riding. Last year we had the most pleasant fall season I can ever remember. I want it back, whaaaaaaa.

We've had a lot of rain, too. While I haven't stopped riding, it's certainly been much less. I did about 50 miles total last weekend and this week I did a 13 mile and 18 mile ride. Today I was supposed to lead a 50 mile ride up to NH and we had to cancel. It's raining now, but I probably might be able to ride this afternoon. Otherwise, I will be running, hopefully outside and not on my treadmill. I don't mind riding in cool weather... 50's are my favorite riding temperature. I feel like I'm getting sluggish... keep debating about joining a gym again, but I just hate being inside, and I do have a "gym" in my house. I have just slacked off on the yoga, weights, etc. My goal is to reach 2500 miles by the end of next weekend, which means I have to do A LOT of riding.

Right now it's trying to decide whether or not it wants to rain. Tomorrow is supposed to be partly cloudy and windy. Okay, I can live with that!

I can spend today baking delicious things and tomorrow burning them off!

I like the sound of that!!!

Isn't it funny the different worlds we ride in?

Here it rains all the time, so we all ride in the rain. Little kids, racers, grandparents... obliviously riding in the rain.

But it doesn't snow much here. If it snows, I don't ride. Yet there are folks on the board who ride in the snow without a second thought.

If it hit 100 here, there's no way I'd ride. Heck, if it got over 80 I'd wilt. I am a fragile flower, and would be hiding in the shade with a gin and tonic. But some of you are zipping around in temperatures like that. You think 80 is a nice day, I think it's a heat emergency.

Humans are so adaptable!

Today's paper, we had the hottest September on record! Weird. I have different rides for different temperatures, if it is over 95 I ride close to the river as it is always a few degrees cooler
