It was an on-again, off-again rainy day. Being new to the group, I did not know what conditions they would ride in (or avoid).
The LBS guy--older, gruffer, no-nonsense, wise-ass--said that they would hold off on a decision until 5:00 (for the 5:30 ride). "But we don't want to go out in the nasty stuff. After all, we're not collecting Belgian Points here."
"Belgian Points"
It is the perfect way to describe the weather I love to ride in most. Rainy. Cold. No one else on the road. you can ride all day and see no other riders, even on frequently-trafficked routes.
Add a little road grime and mud, the wet scent of manure, and the sound of the water cascading off your wheels, and it is a little slice of heaven!
