Ok, damnit I'm going to do this ride on Saturday. I'll probably be a popsicle when I'm done, might be slightly delusional, and certainly will need to have my head examined.

Going to the LBS tomorrow to pick up some better rain gear, since all I have is a rain jacket. I suspect if I can stay dry I'll be slightly less miserable.....

What's with this stuff being so dang addictive anyway?
