Weather Permitting

I am getting increasingly frustrated with the weatherman.

Sunday is the only day of the week I get to do long rides. Two weeks ago I was scheduled to do a metric century on the North Shore of Long Island and ditched because it was pouring. Last Sunday, I did get in a 40 mile ride (that's all I had time for) but the weather was very weird. When I started it was drizzling, then it was pretty cool, then humid, then sunny. By the time I was done I was completely soaked through my jacket (which I put on at the last minute because of the rain).

The forecast for this Sunday, after a week of spectacular weather, is for a high in the low 60s (which means it will be 45 when I get on my bike at 6:45 a.m.)

The older I get, the less tolerant I am of cold weather. August can come soon enough.
