0-fer this week. Dr. appointments (mine and my son's) cost me 2 of 3 days, and I chickened out Wednesday due to the cold weather (not so cold, really, but 30 degrees colder than my last ride last week.) I'm a wimp who sometimes manages to overcome adversity; this week was not one of those times. So I spent too many hours on the treadmill at the gym this week.

Got my Nashbar shipment yesterday, so can get started returning my 84 Trek to roadworthy status. Haven't ridden it in almost 20 years, and it needs a bit of TLC. New toobs, tires, bar wrap, a cleaning and clean/lube the chain, and I'll be able to see if I remember how to ride a road bike. Might be able to get the commute going on that next week - need to replace the pedals, as the bearings are almost completely frozen, but that's quick/easy once I decide whether I can afford to go clipless or not. Can't wait!

I will be back on the bike Monday...
