7:45 am, 48 degrees, not too much wind.  I guess this is time to do my first ride (maybe only 20 or so miles) of the season.  By the time I am out of here it should be over 50 - and this is about as good as it gets.  This evening there are thunderstorms leading into snow (2-5 inches overnight).

Ride when I can.

Good luck with that.  :)

Pretty much ideal conditions here, I'm trying to get out each and every evening.

Did the 22 miles in 1.5 hours.  Bit of a push coming in, but all around fun.  Glad that there will be snow tomorrow - I believe I will find my saddle fitness isn't too great after a winter off...

My butt isn't as sore as I thought...tomorrow with the snow coming down I think it might be a bit worse...

Evening after my first long(ish) ride.  Altitude is always a bitch, now I am coughing and my throat is made of beef jerky.  Still, the legs have held up, no problems there, and I can still sit down.  All good signs.

Just ripped off another toenail. In the past 10 months, I've lost every toenail at least once, except the big ones. Mostly from hiking, but also from running.

Needless to say, my feet look sort of rough.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Good luck with that, I be thinking of you as I listen to Paris-Roubaix on the radio tomorrow.

And a very good Paris-Roubaix it was, the curse has been lifted.  :cool:
Too bad I missed it.

I'd like to be able to play basketball without hurting myself.

So what's that ? Mainly aerobic with a focus on agility, rather than pure strength?

I'd also like to look good. I'm taking a balanced approach. Mobility, strength and stamina are all important.
