Total and utter disappointment

I blew off class today, as I was planning on embarking on a 40-50 mile jaunt on my Allez. So, I woke up nice and early, ate a power breakfast, downed several cups of coffee, and threw on my shorts and jersey. I then pumped my bike's tires up to spec, checked the tension on the brakes, et.al.

At last, I headed outside and took a look at the heavens. Overcast with a slight breeze from the west. Damn near perfect, but I prefer the sun to a drab cloud-filled sky. And after all of that I finally clip in and head out. Within 10 minutes the wind picked up, and it started to drizzle. 5 minutes later, it's pouring, and I'm racing back to my house.

I then spent the next 1.5 hours pedaling on my trainer, whilst watching CNN and VH1 Classics. How sad.

Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow, but it's raining now, and supposedly it'll be raining for the rest of the week.

Anyone else get screwed by the weather like me?
