Bill just said he has nothing to prove by riding in that weather and is quite happy to stay home. I'm piling up all the bike parts he's been collecting that need to be put on bikes in hopes he'll do something with them. I can barely find the kitchen floor any longer. I might pile them on his side of the bed. Naw, he'll just move them to the floor.
You know, before I was married I was a neat freak.
That's thing about goals - sometimes they make you do things you're not so thrilled about doing.
Enjoy getting your kitchen back. :)

I'll probably do a couple of circuits of the Alameda Creek Trail & Coyote Hills, unless it's thundershowering.
You need about 50 miles tomorrow, right? You can do it! Riding in the rain isn't so bad if you have a warm place to end up. And it could be worse... you could be pulling a trailer!
Neither of my bikes currently have fenders, so I'll end up soaked. It's too late to try to get them onto Fluffy tonight. And I'm holding out for carbon fiber ones for Honu. :D It's not like there will be paceline on the mountain tomorrow.

Each circuit is about 28 miles, so yep, that's the plan :)
I'm thinking dry, non windy thoughts for you. :)

Veronica, did you end up riding up (and down) Mt. Diablo today? :eek:

Couldn't be my cold. I already shipped it off to pkq in Ohio. Someone else is the culprit and not fessing up.
I've had a friggin' sore throat for a week.
Yep! :DQuote:

Ah. My apologies, Sadie Kate. Hope your friggin' throat quits being sore soon! Meanwhile, I think my nose has grown so big that it's taken over my entire face. (No, not like Pinocchio's nose.)Quote:

I'm glad I stopped when I did though, I was pretty whupped. So, I live to ride another day.
Seymour was hanging out in his usual mid-to-late morning spot. He was hard to miss, he was pretty much the only bird out in the water. All the egrets were hanging out along the slope of the hill next to the cove, out of the wind. I'm beginning to think Seymour is a bit daft - not unlike me. :rolleyes:
Isn't that lower back thing nasty! Everytime I look at my last picture from DMD I get this urge to do some ab work or some pushups. :rolleyes:
