Agreed to go out today, currently blowing a hoolie here with rain forecast as well, I just cannae be ersed but suppose I should head out as there will be others there - dam my conscience!

Is it ok to back out of training rides to wait for better weather?

Do you really need to ask that question?

I didn't think the forecast was that bad. I'm going to brave it (for an hour).

buy a turbo trainer, get a sufferfest dvd or sign up to trainer road etc

no longer feel guilty safe in the knowledge you are warm,dry and not been hit by a truck while out in minging weather

It was breezy and a little damp at times, yet we still had 6 juniors (15-17yo including 2 girls) plus one OAP out on our 80mile plus clubrun up here in Lancashire today. Just the one cafe stop and averaged over 15mph.

Wind IS training!

In my club it's called a '5 and 9' - Rule 5 and Rule 9 of the Velominati.


The same ride in balmy sunshine is so much easier, it makes it all worthwhile and you can feel good about enjoying it because you did it before when the weather was utterly grim.

If I may, it's a gender-neutral HTFU. Actually.
