Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bikes: everywhere

30° here, but the little lady wussed out on the riding bikes idea, so we're walking to the coffee shop.

I am wearing shorts though, cuz all long pants are dirty except my tights.

I ride all winter, even down to 0°F if the wind is calm. I, however, have organized indoor training with a coach on M-W-F. I ride outside on the other days.

BTW, despite 90 minutes of indoor, I'm hitting the outdoors on my fixed gear this afternoon.

I think that I made the space between the shelves a little too high. Jack, of course, disagrees.



(The rack still isn't done, BTW. I haven't sealed it yet, a few days in a row of rain made the garage air a little damp, so I thought that I'd bring it inside to dry a little.)

Visiting Phoenix for the holidays. I lost it for a minute, the dry air I guess.

Then I made the first of my (many?) runs to the supermarket for essentials.

I'm hoping we get out around 2 today, I'm hoping it'll be nicer by then. The mountain bike is ready for a ride.

Too damn early (and cold). I'm not sure where they're going to ride to though, the summit road up SOMO is closed.

It was a little below 40 at the CX race on Sunday. That was pretty enjoyable, until I banged up my knee.

Good god, that's getting up early. We'll see how I do but I'm guessing I'll never make it.

This is the first time I've visited during moderate temps. The pool is too cold to get in. Took some getting used to.

Surprisingly the air is still dry, right?
