No water bottle on the trainer. I use a regular water glass.

High 40's overcast. That's good enough for me. The $%^(*&^%$%^ snow has been such a pain for so long. It melts into the road during the day then freezes solid at night.

It's like 50F here. It was rainy. There is snow in the forecast (maybe 6") for tomorrow night and back down around freezing for the rest of the week.

I went with the Blackburn Camber in gloss black. I might have preferred the matte version, but I got this one for $20 less. It was a toss up between:

- Blackburn Camber
- Arundel Dave-O
- Bontrager Race X Lite
- Tacx Tao (Black Al version)
- S-Works Rib Cage

Since the bike is steel, kind of an odd color, and only has one bottle mount, I prefer a cage that can stand on it's own. That ruled out my usuals: the Tacx Tao and regular Rib Cage Pro. I decided I didn't the the Dave-O would look right with my frame, and the S-Works had clashing complimentary colors, while the Bontrager had loud graphics. I was pretty interested in the Blackburn in the first place, so when I found one on Ebay with a misspelled title and lower price, that sealed the deal.

I'm still not sure how it will look in person, but I will probably keep it unless it functions horribly.

Did you get in a ride?

That probably means it is heading my way. I'm in R.I. Your 50f and rainy is going to be up here tomorrow.
