Today I went for a quick, 10ish mile, really hard ride, and then quickly changed shoes and went for a run. Hella tight muscles for the last 4 hours is no fun.

Today I,
Did the 10 mile ride to work on my fixed ride for the first time in a while. Rocked the track drops because I like it spicy. Did the last few blocks on the way home with no hands. Forgot what I was missing.

My first race is Sunday. Today it was really rainy and cold and 4 blocks into my commute, I actually turned around, planning to take the bus. Then I realized that this was perfect CX training so I turned *back* around and rode the whole 10 miles. My bike clothes and shoes are now laid across the HVAC vents in my cube to dry...

that's awesome. yeah practice is super key, especially barrier technique. make some pvc barriers (or session with someone who has them) so you can get the whole mount remount thing down. bike handling is important too but it's also a good way to get a face full of dirt before work, which I would totally dig but your coworkers may feel differently.

I think the commute this morning was important because it reminded me that it's fun to get wet and dirty if you don't sit there feeling sorry for yourself. I'm a winter commuter so I know this, but I forgot.

Yesterday I made another $50 on Pokemon cards. Total so far is about $175 (minus like $12 for all the shipping), just for my duplicates! I estimate my primary collection to be worth at least $5,000. Not that I'd sell it.

Today I saw another person on campus riding a brakeless conversion with no foot retention.

Today I am contemplating purchasing a bike trainer. Just did a small search and saw the one Performance has on sale for 89.99.
Anybody ever use these Ascent mag trainers before? I'm not looking for anything spectacular just something for "riding" in the Ohio winter haha

I've ridden ones like in the photo you provide and they just feel like bleh and they are not nice to ride at all.
I don't know what your budget is, but if you can afford it, try to find a higher quality one either new or preferably used.
