Well, Chris... you certainly are the most determined rider?

Call me wussy, or call me careful.... I'm not planning on participating in it regardless, since I'm on a periodization schedule for training. I can't let a club dictate what my training schedule is to be. You know I'm always about training schedules!

However, as you never know in the winter months what the bad days are when you've got your time off, it's not as simple as just finding a good day sometimes. You should know better.

It's nice to know that one remote day in your lifetime, you think you came close to what we experience here on a daily basis- sometimes as much as 5 months out of our year here. That's cute!

Anyway, I still say be safe... if you're aiming for the mileage, and you're just in crappy weather that's NOT safe, AND (since Chris insists that you can simply ride another day) you can't find another day off where you could ride safely, I still think you should be able to do those miles on a trainer. Whatsamatta, Chris? You too much of a wuss to ride a trainer or what?

All I ask is that you be safe when doing your mileage. There may be some riders that throw caution to the wind and ride in the thunderstorms, blizzards, extreme cold with wind chill factors, earthquakes, apocolypse-type events , but for those riding more realistically, practice some caution, that's all.
