Today's verdict

Skip today — the bike can wait.

  • 33 mph wind — gusty and hazardous on exposed bridges and overpasses.
  • Pavement: slick — light rain expected on top of a dry spell — first-rain oil film makes painted lines and crosswalks slippery.
  • Exposed + wet + windy — mixed traffic in wet windy conditions — visibility and handling margin drop together.
  • 66°F air — right in road cycling's sweet spot
