It can never be good enough

We had our morning ride a couple of weeks back. It was a "cold" morning here in central FL. By "cold", I mean 47 degree F. OK before I get the inevitable jeers, I lived in Michigan and I rode all year. I know what winter riding is like.

So I had on a light pair of tights, a short and long sleeved jersey and all that good stuff. We started out and 4 miles we started getting a light rain. Everyone in the group turned around and went back to the parking lot. I continued and it stopped raining after I had gone a few miles.

But that is what it is like in FL. People get spoiled.

People in Florida have sense.

"Wuss" is the word that comes to mind in regard to your friends. But that would be judgmental of me and I try not to judge people. So, I'll have to search for another word.
