I've found myself in a foreign country 7-8 time zones away from most of my family and friends. Hopefully this will help you keep in touch with me and relate to this experience.

Heilbronn Weather
Why is it that the weather here is beautiful, until we are 10+ km away from home on our bikes? Only then does it rain...
Same reason the stores are open until you actually want food - because you don't get up and leave the house while the weather is nice/sun is up/stores are open! You dilly-dally on your compuer until your wife nags you into oblivion!
I was going to commiserate with you, Allan, until I saw jeannette's comment...
Oh well, I'll commiserate with you anyway. Same thing happened to hubby and me last weekend. Went to Waterloo for a family gig, set out early Saturday. Weather forecast was looking great. We got 1/2 an hour out of the Twin Cities and it started to rain. "No worries," I thought, "it's bound to clear up as we head South." Nope. Wound up biking anyway - raining and low 50s max. Next day, sunny and 75. What 'cha ya gonna do?
