So, Ive been noticing lately that some of you Clydesdales out there seem to turn into total wimps the moment the weather gets a little rough. I mean, Ive seen guys who can crush a 50-mile ride on a sunny day suddenly start whining about how its too windy or too rainy to ride.
Whats up with that? Are Clydesdales really that delicate? Do you guys need to be coddled with perfect weather conditions just to get out on the road? Newsflash: the weather is never perfect, and if you cant handle a little rain or wind, then maybe you should stick to riding on a trainer in your basement.
But seriously, what are some actual strategies for riding in crappy weather? Do you guys have any tips for staying safe and comfortable when the skies turn dark? Or are you all just going to continue making excuses about why you cant ride because its a little breezy outside?
And dont even get me started on the whole Im a Clydesdale, Im too big and heavy to ride in the wind thing. Thats just a bunch of hooey. If youre too big and heavy to ride in the wind, then maybe you should be focusing on losing a few pounds rather than blaming the weather.
So, come on guys, lets hear it. Whats the deal with Clydesdales and bad weather? Are you all just a bunch of fair-weather riders, or can you actually hack it in the real world?
