There is nothing worse than being coop'd up all day starring at bikes and boats in the shop, only to get off and it be pouring rain and 30 degrees. This seems to be the cycle we are working with here in central Pa. for the last week. With no heat or electric at my camper it is even less motivating to put on the super hero costume and make the thirteen mile trek up the ridge and out to the woods. Don't get me wrong once on the bike life is great again but it is that 20 minute mind game of " Do I really want to ride?" before departing that really makes getting going tough.
I have enough riding apparel to fill nearly every cavity of the camper as well as a few totes that live back at the shop. So not riding or not being prepared is not an option.
This is where owning a car sucks and working next to a bar is not a good thing. Both are easy cop outs. The remedy to this short day and cold weather time is simply.
Here it is:
10 miles of road riding gets you 12 oz. of beer
5 miles of mountain riding gets you 12 oz. of beer.
0 miles of either gets you no beer.
Now go ride.
