It is now. It was just warm enough for it to melt on the roads this afternoon, should freeze overnight.

Monday it was like 24 with 20-40 mph winds. "Felt like 13." That's not that cold for many of you, but we just don't see that kind of weather here. I don't even own a jacket that is sufficient for weather that cold

I wussed out today and rode the rollers instead of running outside. I think a few runs earlier this month in shorts and 20* weather depleted my HTFU reserves for December.

Anyways, I'm going to pull a Razor and say: goodnight all.

Good grief, that MegaBus really does have $1 fares to D.C. in January. I assumed that story on the news was just an inaugural day promotion.

and there are q-sheets for the rides, you could find your way back after getting dropped even if Santa fails to bring you a Garmin.

The closest they run to you is here or Charlotte

I don't think a bike fits in the luggage compartment very well, though.

That sucks. I'd be willing to break it down and build it back up, but I doubt that will even fit.

Your Garmin data says you used it for 3 min, with a moving time of less than 2

where did you get an hour out of that?

Snowed a lot today. I rode on it from work. Then we made snowmen and had snowball fights. Family friends are sleeping over since the roads to their house in the Jemez mountains are bad. Kids had hot coco and the parents had Tequilla in warm Apple Cider.

I spun the old Mercedes in the my neighbor's (he has a farm like 24 acres) big parking lot. It was fun. RWD Taught my daughter some stopping techniques (she is not even 13)

I was a bit confused by it myself. But then I remembered the poster and you have to divide any claimed # by 2 or 3 depending upon the day.

Does it say something about my ass, my seat, or my bibs, that I rode the trainer today for an hour (TheSufferFest - The Hunted) and didn't know I had the bibs on inside out?

- Specialized Toupe Team
- Specialized RBX Bibs
- My "too fat for this sport" ass
