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

Tornadoes don't hit brick houses, they aim for trailer parks and brick houses sometimes just get in the way...

And yes, it's nice down here right now. About 68, light breeze and partly cloudy.

originally we were supposed to get about 5cm on saturday....now they're saying 15!

This is what they call an equinoctial storm- in march and september, around the time of the equinoxes, you'll get bad weather- usually in sept it's rain.

Having grown up in Punxsutawney, PA that is one of the funniest things ever. Going to forward the pix to my buddies.

It is snowing right now in Pittsburgh.

Forgot. The storm of the Centruy. 27 inches of snow March 13, 1993. Even did a PBS special on it.

Lookin' like 10 - 16" up here....

And not even starting until later this afternoon, so can't even skip out of work and plead Flatlander..

The cycling Gods are not happy with me...

What do you think I need to sacrifice in order to get in their good graces...

uckfey!! Snow here too. I don't know nor do I care how much it is.

'Tis a mixed bag. I don't get to go out. But I may also get out of traveling (driving!) to Philly; Ordinarily, I would have given my pinky to go, but it's snowing down there too, so I wouldn't have gotten to ride anyhow.

Why must you kick us when we are down and pour salt in our wounds?

I finally got to ride outside after work this week and thought the indoor riding was done for the year. Now this rain/ice/snow ***** hits today. I can't take it anymore.

In January I rode in bib shorts and just a short sleeve jersey a few times now in march I can't even ride outside. I hate you bad weather.

I hate this darn 80 degree weather we've been having lately. WE need some snow for a change.

p.s. I did'nt wear a jacket this morning to work cause it was so hot...

Tell me about it, we just had to cancel a race. How many of you lost thousands of dollars on this one?

More snow in the woods is good, but keep it off the roads please. Almost rode on Wednesday evening when it was 60 degrees, but it started raining so beer and chicken wings instead

I just discovered the Compu-Trainer at the local running/tri shop. What a great invention. It sure beats staring at the walls on my trainer in the basement. While it's not cycling in the great outdoors, at least you have the visuals of a nice Arizona road, and lots of technical data to help take your mind off the pain! Once your HR goes above 190 it all looks the same anyway!!!
