That was a slow slog, but I did it. I do get a strong sense of accomplishment in overcoming the elements. I have done twelve miles in eight inch snow. That was a slow slog, but I did it.

Water spray was going up hub-high.... In a much more recent rainy riding episode, I nearly lost traction on the front because my front panniers were floating. And as for Joe holding a 650B, he's probably refurbing a client's 1980's Schwinn Mirada come down from the rafters and pressed into "I'm not paying THAT for gas!" service as a commuter/shopper. I can hear him now -- "You're in luck. It's a rare tire size, but we happen to have tubes and tires in stock."

On the bright side, when it rains (especially early in the morning) the bike rack is empty when I get to work and I can park WAY closer to my building.

Sun, rain, snow, anything. However, the sense of accomplishment is rather fun. I’m with Howard Abts — I ride because I need to travel. Sun, rain, snow, anything.

Here are a couple of links to pics of a fun ride we did recently (that is, a ride motivated by nothing other than fun): http://tinyurl.com/2879ar and http://tinyurl.com/47lhjg We have a few freinds who suffer from hydrocyclophobia, but we still love them! I think that my most extreme weather was the day I rode to work over a 1 1/2 mile long floating bridge in 40-50 mph winds. It may have been raining; it was hard to tell the difference, what with the waves breaking over the bridge. I had a blast, laughing my ass off all the way. Yehuda’s the man!

No fun, even in Washington where the hail is small. I don’t mind a light rain, especially if it is just a shower and I can see the other side of it, but hail is another story.
