Today's verdict
Thunderstorms in the forecast — lightning and cyclists are a bad combination.
- Thunderstorms — lightning and cyclists do not mix — get off the road before they arrive.
- Pavement: wet — wet during the likely ride window — reduced braking, road spray, limited visibility to drivers.
- 29 mph wind — strong — plan for slow outbound if wind is against you.
- 72°F air — right in road cycling's sweet spot
