Heh, yeah--there's a low-traffic trail I ride at times where you can "start out clean shaven and in shortsleeves and finish with a beard and sweater," for all the cobwebs.
I had a great storm race a few years ago. The last dozen miles of a 7 day, 630 mile Inn to Inn tour we had a front following us. It came with a tailwind so we were surfing the storm, cranking south for all we were worth. We had to keep turning east to get home, so we'd turn and there'd be a gust of wind from our left, then a spatter of rain, then we'd turn south again and pedal like hell to get ahead of it. Did that 3 or 4 times but made it home before the big rain caught us...
