Week 7
What a disastrous cycling week. On Monday, I was rained out. On Tuesday, I was rained out. On Wednesday, I salvaged 25 miles out of the end of the day, after getting rained out in the morning. On Thursday, I rode to work in the morning, but got rained out in the afternoon and rode seven miles through the wet, windy downpour. On Friday, the rains when I needed to go to work subsided about two hours after I got to my office and started up again right as I was leaving. Today, unfortunately, there were periods of non-rain, but every time I started gearing up to leave, the rain would start up again.
This is the first time in the last 25 weeks that I’ve had a weekly under 50 miles. Certainly, I need to get better rain gear. I guess the week is offset by a record day, but I’m hoping the rain stops soon. Because I’m not aiming for 43 mile weeks.
