You may have noticed in our sidebar that we were planning to do a training ride this weekend. We woke up this morning (early) and loaded the car in spite of the rain. We drove out to Katy and the rain was only getting harder. So, we wimped out and came home. It didn't seem safe and I'd rather do just about anything than ride in the pouring rain. I'm getting kind of nervous, though, because I will only have two training rides before the big one. Not that we haven't been riding on our own and working out on the indoor trainer, but I imagine that it's different riding with a bunch of people. There's not much you can do to change the weather, though.
Our next training ride is March 20th. I will be in Nashville for work this weekend, but my flight will hopefully get home early enough so that, provided the weather is good, we can do a long ride Sunday afternoon. I got clipless pedals this weekend, where your shoes clip in to the pedals. They are awesome, and I hope to get more and more comfortable in the month we have left before the big ride.
Thanks to all of you for supporting us in various ways as we work towards the MS150!
