Just because fountains are freezing over, they've delayed the start of the Phoenix Open and it's much colder than normal, get the heck out and ride!!!!! We love this kind of weather back home..........(from a Tempe visitor)

Sore saddle cyclist
I think they are all in jail because they didn't carry their birth certificate on the last ride.

Wednesday morning, I did hill repeats on my way to work. Wind chill had it in the 20's, there was a 25mph+ headwind, and the 90 minute ride turned me into a popsicle. Took forever for my fingers and toes to feel warm again. We aren't used to this stuff! It should be warmer for the ride tomorrow morning - I'll be out on a club ride, then extending it to get to at least 4 hours total.

Been down with the flu! Planning on doing a ride on Saturday. Right after the fit session for the new carbon bike. I'm pumped.

This cold snap is keeping me off the bike. I have nothing to prove by freezing my fingers and toes off. Maybe if I had the gear to wear to keep me warm, but probably not. I guess I'm just not that macho.

I'm now back in less than sunny and far from warm NC. It's 34 degrees and raining. I can't seem to catch a break.

There is a certain satisfaction in seeing the cruel jaws of the North American winter descending on Phoenix and Dallas.

We are ridding again. Yesterday was a beautiful day and today in the low 70s, clear sky's and no wind. Now that's hard to beat. But is was cold there for a while there.

It was 33 when our club ride left the park Saturday morning ( I always ride to the park). I prefer riding when it is warmer, but, I still rode!

The wife and I were visiting last week. Did some Mountain Biking at South Mountain and McDowell Moutain parks. Cold but good riding.
