Cindy weather report watch

[BikeMomma]

I'm game to ride in the rain. If its really raining hard and windy, I might think twice, but a light drizzle isn't bad to ride in.

I've found weatherunderground.com to be a pretty reliable source for weather-watching (thanks Snap!). The radar helps me make up my mind if I want to try it that day or not!!

First off I want to send a quick shout to Cindysue and the Lunachix, Velogirls and Valleyspokespersons for the training ride series. Although I only got to two of the rides this one was awesome.

9 women were at BART for this the last of the series.

If you are in Northern CA and did not get outside today, shame on you

The route was wonderful (I'm pirating the turn sheet and may use it on an ALC training ride). The group set a brisk yet human pace, didn't dilly dally at regroups which was nice. After an early stop at porta poties one of the riders dropped out and called her DH to pick her up. She had a borrowed road bike and it's just geared too high plus did not fit well.

If you're lurking I hope you come to the Cindy with your mountain bike.

Another gal was struggling a bit, running low on water and energy. After Lemon Drop we turned and there was a guy selling oranges by the side of the road. He insisted on slicing oranges for us and would not accept anything, we tried to pay him and he shook us off. But that snack kept her going.

Once again thanks Cindysue for the wonderful weather , can you do that next week?

I feel very tight. I haven't been riding as much as I should but have been lifting and that's interesting. I felt strong on the hills, stood on some, something I "never do", a sit and spin gal. But I'm not tired, just real tight, so off to take a hot bath, have some tea and choose which rain gear to pack just in case.

Sorry to miss out on the last Cindy pre ride....although I did ride China Camp (MTB) today. It was awesome weather out there. Looking forward to the Cindy....rain or shine! Also looking forward to meeting you all.
