There’s always the question when I don’t ride: could I have gone for a ride, after all?

Today’s forecast was for T-storms, from about 4:00 am onwards; and in fact, I heard rain at about five o’clock. I decided it was better not to go riding; and as of 9:00 am, I was still waiting for  the bad weather to set in. 

Of course, I don’t know what things are like ten miles from here; and as I’ve said before, weather can move really fast. Few things are more unnerving than being caught out when the lightning gets close! Well, there’s always the trainer if I want to do some indoor pedaling.

There’s always the question of, will I ever get around to another century? I’m sure not doing any training for it today! It’s hard to do the amount of training that I think I need; and if I were to do a 100-miler in October, I need to be preparing now.

Last night I put some Nuun in the fridge to chill, in case I did go for a long ride today. Now I have to drink it up, or pour it down the drain. Nuun is supposed to be used within a certain time frame after you mix it; and it’s not the cheapest stuff around. I find it to be quite tart; so I might be naughty and put some sweetener in it.

The sun keeps dodging in and out; so I don’t know whether it’s going to rain or not. I want a few things from the drug store — should I ride over there, or not? That’s always the question!
