On the road again...

I couldn't stand it any longer! After sitting on the trainer for my last 7 works outs, I had to get outside. Yesterday would have been perfect as it got up to 50 degrees and the sun came out, but I had kid duty (Alex and I put up our Christmas lights). Today was another one of those character building rides;
  • The roads were wet and there were puddles everywhere (it rained all night),
  • I hit patches of misty rain and drizzle, and
  • The temperatures were in the low 30s.

A few years ago, I wouldn't ride if it was below 35 degrees. Last year I was riding when it was in the low 20s. I wouldn't ride in the rain in the summer and I've already been out in the 'rain' twice with the temperatures below 35 (thankfully only misty and drizzles today). Either I'm getting used to the colder and miserable weather or I'm losing my common sense in my 'old age'.

With showers in the forecast all week, I may be back on the trainer.
