Sunny and dry means dusty! Ewwww. If I were doing roubaix, I'd rather have rain any day. I realized
that on a ride today. It was pretty windy at times and there's all this dust and **** left over from
the winter, blowing around. Pttoooeey. We need a few rainy days to get rid of that and any remaining
snow patches. Give me rain and mud any day!
At roubaix, rainy conditions seem to favor belgians.
