With the promise of the weekend, I'm looking at getting the Magneet out Saturday morning for the first commute to work of the year.
The bad part of daylight savings time is that I've just gotten used to having something resembling sunlight for the morning ride (0630), and now it'll be dark again. Damn!
Oh yeah, and on Saturday night, I've got eight clocks on the cyclometers to reset.

Looking forward to the change---except this Sunday morning. Since I'm out of bed about 4:00 a.m. on Sundays, this hits me like it's 3:00. To double whammy the effect this year, I just came home from a vacation in Hawaii. Tonight I get to spring forward 5 hours!

GAH I FREAKING KNOW! I CAN'T WAIT!
Maybe I'll start getting in some good mileage when I get home from work.
Sunday's gonna be a cool day.
1) Wake up, earlier (but that's ok)
2)Go to church
3)Go back to my GF's and change clothes
4)Meet up with some friends and then go see Watchmen (FINALLY!)
And then monday I'm gonna be out for 20-something miles and loving it, especially with the prospect of like 60 degree weather.
Ah... Spring is so close... you can almost touch it.
