It is forecast to start raining this Thursday and continue through the weekend until Tuesday; on go the rain jackets. Hopefully, the weather will be reasonable enough to take out the tandem.

Presently, we are skiing at Deer Valley, UT. We skied in freezing rain and fog yesterday (it was horrible) but today was beautiful; sunny, 53 degrees and no wind. The next couple of days will be good with weather coming in Thursday and Friday. Deer Valley is okay and the skiing is good but the base is marginal. We have no idea whether skiing will count as training toward our time trial (probably not) but we will be back in the saddle for a couple of training sessions prior to February 17th.
Hey, we'll be in Solvang, too! It'll be my second time, captain's first time, and first time on the tandem. Our friends & I rode last year; what an introduction to a century! Can't wait to see what we get this year.

We're headed to Palm Springs this weekend -- it was 82 or thereabouts yesterday -- sounds pretty sweet to me. Good luck in the rain this weekend.
