work, eh? nice day, eh?
cool~
I am going to head out for research and reading in about an hour to the local library. Last time I rode my streettrack there, someone left a post-it note stating "Someone stole your brakes."
glad the weather is nice, and hope it is for everyone.

stuck at work and have a social obligation this afternoon. when all is said and done it will be dark outside before i get a chance to ride. damn everything. oh well, at least it's warmer and the snow is finally starting to melt.

Gorgeous day here too. We're gonna take a spin in about an hour and I can't wait. Went to the LBS earlier in just a t-shirt and my usual gloves (instead of the damn heavy leather work gloves I wear when it's cold out). Cracked out my happy ride and just ripped loose. Ah, sweetness. Sunlight streaming down at 30 mph.
Summer's gonna be awesome. It's funny how much I experience season's through my bicycle, and every one of them is great.
Just sayin.

Mid 50's here. I also am off to the library to return a couple movies and maybe bring back a few more. I have no doubts that I'll take the long way turning what is normally a 10 mile round trip into at least a 20. Looks like it's going to be a good weekend.

East coast/west coast..Had an absolutely beautiful week..Not the weekend..Cloudy...Not good weather for here..Been in the 70's...A hint of mist in the air here, for many us not a bike day...wait to noon and see if it will go away..Blue skies always, unless obscured by auto exhaust...For some of us at least here in the 'southland.'

its warm up here as well, except we have a poor air quality warning for most of the southern province, as I was also just out for an hour blast around the city I noticed I couldn't see most of the tops of the buildings (smog), I pushed it pretty hard and now I'm coughing.....a lot.
the back of my mind is saying 'it's early Feb. this is not good'.....

Cold breeze, but sunny and clear here. The air temp is whatever the water temp of the North Atlantic is. Snow drops and Crocus and Camelias are in blossom. Spring is here at last. It has been a long month. Air pollution? Did a bus just drive by?

how are the guys at trackstar doing after that break-in?
I will be having them do the build up for my track bike when I get it from the frame builder in a couple of months.

Got out at about 3 pm for a 20 mile loop ...Blue skies and sun on the palm trees, finally...Maybe we beat out NYC for warmth..Think in the high 60's by mid-day.
