Yeah, my initial assessment of supposedly seeing ice occurred when it was still dark outside. Upon further review, the roads should be fine for you all.
I just killed myself on the treadmill, so will recuse myself from the ride. Take care out there.
Hey, is there a cross race tomorrow?

Race tomorrow is in Northbrook. "Save Ferris" cross. Wilke is coming down to it. We're carpooling out to it at noon most likely.

Not me - at 7AM it was raining (some of it bouncing off the deck) and 35 degrees here.
Even the racoons stayed under cover last night......

Well, it's after 8, and not raining any longer, even starting to dry off a little. Leaves are plenty wet, and a 10 mile ride to get up there to the start - I think I'll just try to work on leaves today if it dries enuf ---the forecast for the rest of today is rain and snow showers.....
You guys have fun, and stay warm and dry......

It was an awesome ride. Since no one other than MJH2 showed up we both decided to do a cyclocross ride instead. Got in 34 miles. Wind was bad and the drizzle turned into light rain in spots.
I am cold though. I get cold after rides anymore. It's weird. Not as much insulation.

Just got in from the _only_ roller ski race in these parts ... a whopping 6 skiers braved the 37F rain. Winning margin for the 20 mile race was 17 minutes and the winner was 50 years old! He said that after the start you don't feel the cold anymore, you just go numb. Atta boy Pete!
Looking forward to the 'cross race tomorrow. It's gonna be ugly.

No rain for tomorrow. It will be muddy and cold, but not raining. Hopefully....

Looking to do the double cross racing weekend this weekend so it looks like this ride is off for me. I believe MJH2 is joining me as well.
