want drama? check out the weather

It's true, our California, Nevada and Colorado teammates are typically spoiled with great weather.  Warm, dry, and sunny conditions are common at most of our road events. 

However, 2012 racing has brought on some interesting twists with big winds at the Snelling and Madera Road Races, plus cold rain, and winds at the San Dimas Road Race, to name a few.

April weather seems to be serving up more cold, wet and windy days so I thought I'd share a thought with my junior teammates and with everyone reading this - it may rain at USA Cycling Junior Road Nationals in Augusta, Georgia this June. 

Hopefully this possibility gives meaning and purpose to your training and racing in the rainy, cold and windy days of April.  Why not train in the rain to be prepared for Augusta?
