The choices are either "dry" or "wet" depending on the day. There are a variety of brands available, but these are the 2 choices, and these should be considered. Great point. I'll include it in an upcoming post. I hope your training is coming along! Bob Hi Ken,

(I know I use very different lubes if it's going to be dry & dusty, or wet & mucky) I just didn't know if the same logic applied to road cycling.

Also important to eat a good breakfast that has sustaining energy. Oatmeal with some honey and nuts is a good choice, avoid milk as it can give many people stomach probelms due tot he acidity. Remember, if it's going to rain, there are some clothing items that can shed thye light stuff, but in aheavy downpour, let's face it, you will get wet, no way around it. Most important to stay warm,so have enough clothing to keep your body insolated. Remember the getting wet part is the worst. Once your wet, it's no so bad. Always good to plan ahead for the ride.
