I got out for a ride both days, and although I worked very hard because of the wind... well it was very interesting! Yesterday I watched a storm that had the mountain tops socked in, watched it come into the valley and eventually it started to rain. I felt a bit of sleet when I first started the ride, but it went away very quickly and I ended up cutting the ride a couple of miles short simply because it was now raining. Faboulous watching the storm coming in though...

Today was a bit more windy than yesterday, but I was determined to ride anyway. Later in the ride the mountains were again surrounded in very dark clouds, and the weather forecast mentioned that we should have a bit of snow after midnight.

I guess this time of year I always feel as though I just accomplished one less trainer ride for the year, even if it was slower than I would have liked.

Crankin: Glad to hear that your doubts turned into nothing more than brakes that were dragging; you should feel like a ' hero' the next time that you go out HA!
