I guess I got lucky yesterday and today. I was out of the house by 8:00 am and rode until 10:00. Ran into a slight drizzle near the end of today's ride, but not too bad. I'm not depressed at all. :)

I agree. I use to be a heavy drinker. Now, I barely drink. In the past 4 years, I've only been drunk once. Every now and then, I do just as you said. I have a couple beers and I feel much better.

Here in SoCal. Thought it never rained more than 2 days in a row. This will make the third. Not been on the bike in three days.. Temps' in the 50's and rain. No motivation to go out.
Look out the window and need to. And I will be screwed of my nightly PM work commute, as I would have. Enough to get me on the trainer before I go into work tonight. Might be motivational to open up the picture window and watch the rain fall,while on the trainer.?

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 01:36 PM.
