We can't seem to get more than one or two days in a row with nice weather, so I bike commuted only twice this week. Next week I'll be on vacation and it will be April by the time I am commuting again. Incredibly, the weather forecast is looking nice during my week off, so I might just be able to pull off the bike tour I've been planning. I will not be touring in cold rainy weather because I do this for fun not torture.
Is the Showers Pass jacket not enough? We're only 4 days into a two or more week of forecasted crud, and I'm bummed already. I'm not desperate to dust off my wife's trainer yet, but I had to make myself run for about an hour yesterday up on the logging roads in the rain.
