Week 9, 80 miler, 15 mph — Rain out!

Oh no! It’s raining and the forecast is for rain almost all day.  The radar looks like rain.  We postponed the ride until Sunday.   Sunday was even worse than Saturday.  A total washout.  I’ve missed the 70 and 80 mile ride and with rain forecast for the whole week there is no chance of getting some miles in.  I’m in pretty bad shape to do 100 after missing the last big two and grinding out the whole season with a bad hip that won’t cut me much slack.

The season started out so well, no flats, no wind nice weather.  Well most of the folks in the group (all of them really) will be able to do it.   I,  on the other hand will be pushing my luck.  We ended up with three weather cancellations.

Well, right now the forecast for Saturday is 72 and sunny with a light west wind — doesn’t get much better than that!  Guess I’ll try to tough it out.  Perfect conditions for the beginners!

See you Friday night for the pasta dinner — I’m still in good enough shape for that!
