I always make that type of call as a precaution. I apologize to all of you because it ended up not being an issue other that a few rain drops and wind (but again, I much rather be safe than sorry). The roads were slick due to the morning and afternoon rains and that could have been a major problem if not familiar and comfortable with that type of riding condition.
That being said....At 5:45pm it wasn't raining at my doorstep and the radar didn't show any rain clouds for 3 hours. so I took advantage of my only true free time....(Thursday 5:00-9:30pm)
and rolled out.
46 degrees at start
windy in all directions (but tolerable)
21 miles total horizontal, 1,342 vertical
14.6 miles (only cause I had to stop for turkey porn)
Quote of the day
"only cause I had to stop for turkey porn"
I snapped a few pictures along the way. I did so only because it rained in the afternoon, I had canceled the ride and I was going to sit behind my desk, catch up on billing and stress related issues while celebrating "National Beer Day" with left over Bud Light from this weekends shin dig.
As I rode out, I realized that it wasn't that bad out, (but maybe only because I rode in friggin 14 degree weather a few months ago and therefore 46 was a almost an entire 32 freezing degrees above that temp. I rode out to the Audubon Society and back. Our TNT 30mi will hit these locations. I am posting a few photos for you all to see the destinations that I have in mind for the Thursday night Training. The roads and the traffic in between are unavoidable, but the destination points are worth the trip.
