This week really isn't going according to plan at all. Between work and weather, I've had to stay pretty flexible. Yesterday a scheduled morning conference call threw another curve-ball at my routine, so I went out earlier than usual to get in a little solo ride. At least I rode.
Saturday morning's weather forecast was sounding rather pessimistic. In the back of my mind had been an idea to drive up to Baton Rouge for some track time, now that I actually have tires on the bike. I even found a couple of sticky ten year old rolls of Tressostar cloth handlebar tape that I put on the track bike just for full effect. There's almost as much glue on the outside as the inside, but what the hell. I wonder if I have any rolls of that hot pink slippery plastic Benotto tape lying around somewhere... Anyway, by late last night I had already written off the velodrome. I really need to feel like there's a very good chance of having a dry track over there in order to justify skipping a regular training ride plus making the drive. Maybe next week. It'll have to be real soon, because the track is supposed to be shut down next month while they renovate the whole park.
So anyway, it's almost 9 am now and it looks like the rain is gone for a while, so I think once the streets dry up a little bit I'll hit the levee bike path and get in a few miles.
