    I've got to admit that I'm not a foul weather rider.Living in central florida the type of weather we're having ,3 days of wind & rain, is rare.Today is the worst torrential downpours with 50 mph gusts.Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

    I've replied on your Bike trainers thread about which one i'd recommend - to be honest, IMHO they're the work of the devil - an instrument of self inflicted torture, but sometimes they're the only option.

    For what it's worth, I took my own advice, decided to MTFU and get out there riding, even if it rained. So I did ride, and it did rain, and I did fall off the bike at a railway level crossing, and I do have 2 lovely patches of road-rash on my right knee and elbow now.

    Oct 1st 41 Miles
    Oct 2nd. 15.3 Miles
    Oct 3rd. 47.5 Miles
    Oct 4th 26.25 Miles
    Oct 5th 33.54 MILES
    Oct 6th. 42 Miles
    Oct 8th 61.24 Miles
    Oct 9th 21.97 Miles


    288 Miles for the Month. I am over half way there. Anything over 500 for this month is icing on the cake for my last two months of the year. If I hit 500 this month it means I only 500 left for the last two months to hit 4000 for the year.

    Got to admire your Dedication Pam3 - there's no way in the world I could pedal that many miles on a stationary bike - I did 20 miles on saturday and that was my limit.

    10-15-11 95/100

    I set my bike up differently. I turned the handlebar risers upside down. This allowed me to drop the Mountainbike style handlebars by about 5 inches.

    I averaged about 1.5 miles per hour increase. Wooohooo!!

    Made my ride 10 minutes shorter. ie...faster
