After five years of drought, we're now in a cycle
of never-ending rain. Some days heavy, some days light -- but rain
almost every single day for weeks and weeks. Since I've been riding
for less than seven years, I have little experience with riding the hills
around here in very soggy, boggy conditions.
How do you folks in the Pacific northwest do
it? I've been trotting the flats (what there are of them) and the
uphills, and walking the downhills because it seems too dangerous to trot
downward slopes that are so soft and mushy. Am I just too squeamish?
How do I ever get any real conditioning done?
