Addicted to adversity?

Hi... my name's Bob. And I'm an addict. I'm addicted to riding in less than perfect conditions. As a matter of fact, I frequently ride in downright crappy conditions. Rain... cold... heat... wind... dark... I love them all. Sometimes I even look out the window and lament the cloudless 70 degree day...sigh... what I'd give for even a light drizzle.

I rode in to the office this morning on a "perfect" 50 degree morning, and my coworkers smiled and informed me that tomorrow is forcasted to be stormy and windy... surely I wouldn't ride in that! Their wicked smirks belied the fact that they don't know... they have no idea that the nasty forcast makes my day brighter...

How many of you often find yourself looking forward to adverse ride conditions? Do you sometimes find perfect weather and perfect roads... errrr... boring?
