>>984731Sadly, that's what stationary trainers are for; if the weather really sucks that much, then you really don't have a choice. I'm glad I live in NorCal. Even during the coldest weather down here in the Central Valley, I'm still in bib shorts, and so long as I keep moving, I generate my own heat.
>>984742I like you; I'll kill you last. xD
Not a bad idea. People please post suggestions and I'll compose a draft for group approval.
In fact it might make more sense to create a pastebin to point to.
>>984743>Roadies need to stop being such gigantic pussiesI can't speak for anyone else, but I've got no problem riding in the rain, with some exceptions: Doing sprints, or even Jumps, or most other anaerobic work when it's pouring down rain and/or blowing hard? Bad idea. I can think of few worse things than ending up in the ER because I crashed my bike while training alone. Also, riding for hours in the pouring rain turns my bike into an absolute horror show that takes me a couple hours to dismantle, clean, and re-lube everything that's all mucked up, so it doesn't just grind itself into scrap.
>>984750Hard to say without knowing more about you.
I will say this: how you sprint during training or 'just riding' often has little to no bearing on how you'll sprint at the end of a race, both for athletic reasons and for strategic reasons; you might have spent an entire road race with some assholes at the front driving up the pace as much as possible, and you're mostly gassed by the time you get to the 100-meter mark; you might not have a lead-out and have to try to do it on your own; you might have a great lead-out, and look after the finish and find you hit 40. Too many variables.
I can also tell you this:
>don't skip Form SprintsBad sprint form will rob you of top speed
>don't skip Lactate TolerancePoor lactate clearance will make your sprint fade faster
>don't skip anaerobic intervalsWill help you develop sprint power
