If it's not one thing it's another. As I headed out on Wednesday for my last training ride, rain clouds moved in pretty quickly. There was enough blue sky overhead when I left to make me think it was going to be cold but dry. The farther north I rode, the worse it got until it started raining on me. And I realized that if I kept riding north I'd get rained on even more, so I turned back around and headed home. The rain followed me pretty much all the way, and without any rain gear, I decided to cut things short.

The rideon Saturday is 190 miles and I've logged about 150 miles over the last two weeks. This is going to be interesting. I guess the lesson here is to schedule rides at least 4 weeks apart. I'll have to take some solace in the fact that the 200K ride was two weeks ago, and I managed to get through that.

Today's a travel day, and yesterday was a bike tune-up, degrease, lube, safety check day, so no more training for this ride.

The next ride after this is a 400K, but that's on 3/3, so hopefully I'll have more time to get my stuff together.
