"There is no such thing as bad weather......."

This last week with it's very unpredictable weather presented some opportunities. Monday there was snow in the morning & in the afternoon rain, gusty winds & temperatures around 40F-PERFECT!
Perfect that is if I wanted to check how well my cold weather clothing did the job of keeping me warm enough & protecting me from the elements. In fact all was o.k. except I realized I needed shoe covers as the sock covers didn't keep my feet warm (dry but cold!).
All this reminded me of what an Outward Bound instructor once told me-"There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropiate clothing".
Once I have all the appropriate clothing I believe I can ride in ALMOST any weather. In fact one may apply this to getting out the house to walk, jog or ride. Instead of checking the weather to see if it is nice enough to go out I now check the weather to see what I need to wear so that I can go out & exercise with the protection I need. Up till now this did not apply to biking but this ride I am doing has forced me to ride in bad weather. I am now prepared, so this winter I hope to keep riding so long as there is no snow on the road.
