Appears we are shut down in Ohio due to weather the next several days.
Pedaling indoors is not an option for me.

hmmm....even though I just posted in tomorrow's ride thread that I was not looking forward to riding in the rain....I do have to ask something.
Do you melt? If not then how is that shut down?
We'll be racing in it on Sunday. Rain or shine.
Poop.

Light showers/mist and 67 here now - that's not too bad.
Only a chance of rain on Saturday, though the temps are in the 50's and mostly cloudy on Sunday with a high of 47. I will likely be out on both days.

Lots out there. Performance has Fuji and some Scatatatatanattanates. If you're serious call me sometime and we can kick around information.

I rode my MTB for an hour at dusk yesterday. 37F light rain, windy. I ran the tires real soft and rode mostly on the grass and poked around the Lake Michigan shore where I found this paved trail going down to the lake (100ft) with switchbacks! At beach level there was a fairly wide hiking trail for a couple hundred yards that lead to the beach, then a rocky section, then a doable walk back up the bluff. I quickly forgot about my cold hands - a fun ride for a roadie.
