    Cancelling trip plans due to weather?

    I've cancelled trips before due to weather and always regretted it. Ill be happier riding in rain or heat than loosing the vacation time. I just use proper gear for touring and prepare for everything. Heat and rain does not last the whole day.

    Its good money and i like the week off in between shifts. You can only do short trips for weekends and loose time for family. But with the week off you can do a 3 day trip and spend the rest for family and house works.
