Hard to Plan 🗓️
It’s hard to plan your rides when the weather outlook is unfavorable. It doesn’t matter whether you’ll be on a gravel bike; a road bike; or an adult trike; if you can expect rain during your ride, extra planning is required.
Do you have work materials or schoolbooks that must be kept dry? Thule Shield Panniers are waterproof, and have handy shoulder straps for off-bike carrying. Loops allow you to attach lights. Such bags are also good for trips to the grocery store; rain or shine.
Incidentally, it can be hard to plan a trip to the store when there’s a flood advisory in effect; and I’m not sure which streets will still be hard to navigate tomorrow morning. In some areas, water can stand for days after a downpour! I also dislike riding close to traffic; especially when it’s raining.
Playing Catch-Up 🏃🏽
Maybe our weather is playing catch-up. It’s been quite dry; and we need rain. It looks like things will be pretty stormy for at least the next three days; and I hope it won’t mean playing catch-up with my mileage goals!
I can get in at least some pedaling if I hitch my road bike into the trainer. As I’ve said so often, it’s tedious to the nth degree; but better than nothing at all.
As an alternative, I can don the poncho and go out on the hybrid. The biggest worry about riding in the rain is, it’s still T-storm season!

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
