The terribly unpassable Great Western TrailI opted not to ride on Sunday because it was warm (50 degrees) and sunny. I have had the experience of getting really sick when that first day of warmth finally arrived. One time I rode 135 miles on a day like that and it later transformed into chronic Bronchitis for a period of 4 months. No thanks.
Today I went to recover my car from the Restaurant which was a 27 mile ride. I knew it was siberian cold all over again. Dressed superwarm, Lake boots, toe warmers and went at it. I rode 27 miles into the headwind of 20 mph and completely exhausted myself. The only motivating factor was the warmth of my little Nissan and a good dosage of NPR radio. Almost two hours later I arrived and drove off to work.
The Trans Iowa is fast approaching and so far the weather has been horrific. I suppose a lot of participants are on the same boat.
I hope so,
out,
Ari

It would help to be able to ride and not think that you are catching some frostbite on your nose or face. I don't fear the miles.
