Sunday I'll be 62. Can't believe it. Seems line only yesterday...
Anyway, I planned for riding a full century with friends from the bike club. A few replied, but some balked at the full 100. I decided to settle on a "ride my age" Metric. That held promise until the Canadian Express scheduled a stopover this weekend.
I told the group that this was going to be a "fair weather ride" and if it rained, I was out. That was before I saw the overnight temps are scheduled to be in the 30's. I don't ride below 50 at the outset, and it needs to be pushing 60 by the time we finish. It's not getting to to 50 Sunday.
So, I called off the ride until the Canadian Express pulls out and heads north and temps get back to the 60's or so.
I'm a wimp.
