When Lance was training for Le Tour de France he would not miss a training day due to rain. Lance did quite a bit of training in the mountains of North Carolina, along the Blue Ridge Parkway and was known for going out no matter what the weather.
I am not that tough. Sunday was going to be a long ride (60ish miles) with Jan and MW. The professional weather prognosticators gave mixed forcasts, meaning they had no freaking idea if the rain would continue or not. Our 9am ride was canceled due to a downpour. MW wanted to wait and see if it would clear up, I was too impatient and needed to ride.
Jan and I set our bikes up in the basement, plugged in a Coach Troy 90 minute ride up Mt. Lemmon in Arizona dvd and began pedaling. An hour later the sun came out and stayed out as we did a second dvd, a killer 90 minute interval set.
The good news is we both completed our goal of sixty miles on the bike, saved on suntan lotion, washed the floor with our sweat and lost weight.
