December

Damn it's cold and snowy! Jeez! After spending Thanksgiving week enthralled by the fact that I actually got in 8+ hours of cycling and realizing that it was easy when you only work 2.5 days, I get dealt the additional set back of unrideable (for me) weather. 

Yes, I know. Mountain bike or cross tires or winter shoes or fenders or heated insoles or a greater level of courage would allow me to ride in the current conditions. But when it takes as long to get ready as it does to ride, and disposable income is at a premium, well, I don't get outside much. However, I have made peace with the trainer. At least for now. And I'm on my way to another 7+ hour week. Maybe I'll finish Durand with the pack after all.
