should I ride tonight or tomorrow?
 

if tonight
have to mount some tires, then ride in the dark w/ lights
can sleep late Saturday morning

if tomorrow, rain expected
I would have to get up & motivated early, then out & back before the rain
no sleeping late

Mounting tires should only take 20 minutes tops. But I have no issues with getting up early to beat the weather. I do it all the time.

We’re supposed to get rain tomorrow morning, with clearing by late afternoon. That could be good because it’s supposed to reach 60 degrees. I’m thinking car errands in the morning, bike errands in the afternoon.

forgot to mention, Wifey has a date w/ a girlfriend tonight

Go out to a bar and get drunk.

there we go! I knew I cold count on you guys for a Friday type thread. thank you

Ride tonight or tomorrow? Yes, of course! Ride any time you can.

If you want to ride in the dark, ride tonight.
If you want to ride in the morning, ride tomorrow.
Do both. Or do neither. Or ask a message board, I guess

4:30pm had something to eat
charged some batteries
took a nap
charged more batteries
watched some TV
mounted the tires
9:45pm took a ride in the parking lot
rain isn't supposed to start 'till 10am ...

Then whatever else you do, tonight you should be home, with beer, watching a Clint Eastwood movie. Or maybe Schwarzenegger.

I think I'll check out the water tower road behind my house. broken pavement & gravel should be interesting in the dark

I hate riding in the dark so yes, get up early and get your ride in before the rains arrive.

as so many recommended, I did both

You should do what the Brits do and ride a multi-day/all night ride with check points. In that way there is zero debate. There is a name for these masochistic 300K+ rides in all weather conditions, which doesn’t come to mind. Special note: people who do these feats do not consider them masochistic but a noble. I tend to agree.

riding both would have been my suggestion....

& here I am preparing for a ride in 21F 15MPH winds tomorrow...

Would recommend first stopping in at your Psychiatrist’s office for a quick chat. Just sayin’ :innocent:

a Psychiatrist might encourage the ride in hopes to reduce such groups of cycolists.

I looked it up cuz I couldn't remember exactly - Randonneuring (also known as Audax in the UK, Australia and Brazil)

you nut. we're rootin' for ya!

Did you ask your mom first before you went out?

Be sure to wear a sweater and mittens

Really wish I could get on a bike, but they tell me another couple of months.
