When not to ride Outdoors
Well time to hit the trainer. Temp (at 2 p.m.) is 17 degrees with winds out of northwest at 35 gusting to 49. Will, however, get to watch some great recorded footage of the 2005 Giro as I sweat. Hope that many of you are having better weather (although it sounds like eastern CO and KS are getting hit pretty hard).

17F and winds of 35-49 mph are grounds for not riding in my book. 
35-49F and winds of 17 mph however, would be a great day for a ride.

We got no snow. So goes it in Colorado weather. Microclimates all over the place.

I don't mind cold, or rain, or heat, and I reckon that I can always find a sheltered route to get out of a stiff wind, or take adavantage of it. Put the rain and wind, or cold and wind, together and I'll find a maintenance job somewhere. Now where's that new bottle of Brandy.
