we can share it. I'd be surprised if I was the only person on BF sick today.

Girlfriend says I have to clean the apartment and go shopping.

RoboCheme 12-19-09 01:36 PM

3000 miles from my bike at my mother in law's. Sigh

I had to do some last minute Christmas shopping for a gift exchange tonight... and I'm skipping church to do a ride tomorrow.

It's too cold to make it enjoyable.

16" of snow so far with a bucketload more on the way. Shoveling the driveway every 2 hours just to keep up. I did go for a short ride on my SS MTB earlier today. I know I'm a weenie, but even with studded tires that's a tough row to hoe.

Temps in the 70's here. I'm kind of wishing I had the time today. The funny thing is, one of the people I'm exchanging gifts with tonight (Biker395) would completely understand if I was late due to an impromtu century in this weather. His neice doesn't agree, and I live with her.

I rode today. :p

More than a foot of snow and a dozen fresh cookies right out of the oven.

Machka 12-19-09 02:06 PM

I'm working for the 8th day in a row ... and yesterday's work involved lifting and moving 2.5 tonnes of cherries, so if I make it through today without collapsing in a heap on the floor, that will be an accomplishment.

However, if by some miracle we're off early, I may still be tempted to ride.

JoelS 12-19-09 02:13 PM

Wife is working and I'm home with the kids.

rob! 12-19-09 02:29 PM

I just got in a quick 8 miles in before the snow is about to fall, about 2 feet are expected. I wanted to go longer but my two layers of gloves were still insufficient for the temperature.

bismillah 12-19-09 02:34 PM

Giving my legs a day off.

Caad 8 12-19-09 02:35 PM

Kinda breezy outside. And I'm supposed to go on a group ride tomorrow.

not to mention the snow. can't wait to move out west.

MrTuner1970 12-19-09 03:16 PM

I rode my mountain bike 35 miles today. Temp around 38-40º with wind 10-15 MPH. It was cold, but certainly doable. It was a fun ride.

Eticket 12-19-09 03:21 PM

running today, bike is being built.

Kai Winters 12-19-09 03:43 PM

I ran for an hour. It was 11f when I went out running. First day of exercise this week due to frakkin' cold...hate illness...felt great to run.

YOJiMBO20 12-19-09 03:57 PM

I did ride. However I cut out about 50mi of the ride I was going to do because the winds were intense today and I didn't want to get blown off the freeway or off the mountain.

Lacking 12-19-09 03:59 PM

Swam a mile, and lifted weights. Today is the day off of the precious bike. I'll be on it 2mro for probably 2 hrs if the weather cooperates. I doubt it though, seeing as God hates me and all.

scotch 12-19-09 04:09 PM

I did. Welcome to December cycling in NH.
