great Ride Fail 16 km 00:38 15.6mph pace

I was all set for a long ride this morning, but the weather has other plans. I don't often get beaten by the weather, but today it's gunna happen. I sucked up as much HTFU as I could and got out there, but it was insane! Was getting blown around everywhere with the wind and slipping all over with the wet roads. I had to ride on an angle at one point to avoid getting blown over! I'd rather skip the ride than crash my bike. Felt good, but I'm so annoyed I couldn't get this in today! So I'm off to the gym.

    Sometimes you've just got to let the weather win ;) I was very happy when I woke up to rain and knew I didn't have to get out and run today! (well, a mile, but I'll do that later).

    Hey good try, but wisdom rules!! I got my run in earlier, but it's got progressively worse since, and I wasn't on the waterfront. Sounds like a great day for the gym - enjoy!

    DNF = Do Nothing Fatal. Good call on the ride. 650b deep v rims + gale force wind = disaster. :)
