Screw the Weather

This photo is not me, but the sort of stuff we built as kids.
We then put lawn mower Engines in them, that's when it got . . . . exciting
I built something like that when I was a kid.... did a good face plant when I hit a big bump in the road and the front end bent like a pretzel
 
For those that don't calculate, A 110km ride is 62 miles. impressive on a bicycle - I've done many of those and also many 100 mile rides - 4:45 was my best 100 mile time - these days 25-50 miles is all I want
That was on a Mtn Bike much harder work than a Road Bike
