I am not fully committed to riding this month. Is it the cold? Do I need a break? Or do I blame my Apple Watch February Challenge and “making me” walk 5.4 miles per day.

Very windy so I started down BBD to Flatwoods. I had intended on doing three loops so I could hit 100 miles this week. I stopped at the shelter and it started raining. Dark Sky said it would stop in 12 minutes but start again in 40 minutes. I decided to wait there then ride home. 
The rain stopped in just a few minutes. I started to ride home and got caught. Damn. 
On the way in, Trout Creek was over the road so I walked over the pedestrian bridge. I was so wet on the way back that I rode right through. 
I stopped at the Park gate and took off my glasses. I tried to dry the plastic pouch I had for my iPhone but I didn't have much to dry it with. Wahoo app was stuck on Lock and it wouldn't open. 
I rode home and thankfully it was only sprinkling and I made all the lights! 
When I got home, I had to force quit Wahoo. It kept my ride but the GPS was lost. Oh well.
