Thunderstorms in the forecast — lightning and cyclists are a bad combination.

  • 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.
  • 70°F air — right in road cycling's sweet spot
