Hears the Noreaster rain absolutely HAMMERING on the roof, looks at the thermometer (38º) , rolls over and stays in bed. No ride today.

Make a note of it. This happens about twice annually.

Please don't tell Cypress.

It is raining considerably harder now and there are snowflakes mixing in. Once again the un-erring Pcad Cycling Weather Radar is on the money.

The only exercise I may get to day is the dreaded Tour de Target. Fortunately there is a Starbucks @ the front of the store (one of the first here in cow-tipping Orange County) so I may get into enough of a caffeine haze to make the experience less traumatic.

The decision to ride 78 miles on Saturday seems to have been correct.

This weather continues to suck...I am sitting in my computer room watching Paris Roubaix.

Clearly the sun is in Europe.

The woman got a new car yesterday. A new frame (that's right, I don't even get a gruppo) is the very least I will settle for.

BD if you had one gram of testosterone in your entire body you would have picked up a brand new Scott Addict with full D.A. and Zipp 404s.

Luckily for me and my wallet, my woman has sucked all the testosterone out of me.
