Worst Day of the Year....

This is my ride, my cruiser, my way to get around. It's an Azor Opa...a burly bike from the Netherlands where they know all about building ultimate utility and commuter bikes. It's made for - all weather, jump on and go - cycling and is built like a tank. One of the coolest things about it is the upright posture you have...no more hunching over, eyeballing the ground below. You sit completely straight, so your back does not get sore, you have better visibility of things, and cars can see you easier. This Sunday, I registered for the Worst Day of the Year Ride. The rumor is, that Feb 15th is historically the worst day of the year for weather in Portland, Oregon. However, the last couple years, it has been sunny, blue skies that day.....So far, the weather forecast is showing a few showers with a high of 45...That is actually pretty nice cycling weather! However, the weather can change...it did snow here yesterday. I would actually like it if the weather was just horrible...it would prove to myself that I could cycle in anything and motivate me to bike more. Either way, the 18 mile course starts and ends at a pub. This should give me motivation to 1) show up and 2) to finish the thing. Cheers
