It doesn't sound like it IS going to stop anytime soon out there! Send it on over here to Chicago - it's too cold for me to ride and we are having a severe drought! :)Quote:

I tried to do my part, guys, by going on a ride in December, for the first time ever. I am 99 miles short of my goal, which s****. I could have easily reached the 2500 mile mark, with a bit more motivation, but after I came back from my cycling trip to Europe, I slacked off a bit. I think I was around #9 or 10 for most of the season (I know I can't compete with the warm weather people) and now I am barely in the top 20.
Next year!

OK the blowing thing must have worked because there is going to be a break in the rain and wind tomorrow up my way (at least that is what the weather site is saying). I can cope with the rain but hate that wind so Ive organized a sitter for the boys and Im heading out. Could be my last chance before the new year if that wind starts up again. The weather site is predicting some nasty stuff turning up this weekend ----Hmm Happy Stormy New Year I guess.Quote:

You devil!! Where have you been lately? Out riding your little legs off? We are on our "nth" day of totally overcast weather with drizzle. I feel like I'm living in Scotland (but without the Munros). Och, lassie! :)Quote:

wish I could say "yes" but I did the requisite "visit the fam for the hols". When I got home all I wanted to do was be a couch potato and remember why I moved 1500 miles Away from them! I was hoping to do a metric Saturday but now I have to crew for my hot air balloon so it looks like a long ride is out.Quote:

Corsair, good to have you back home and taunting us with the weather report!
Have you guys looked at our mileage lately? We're up to nearly 30,000 already! Wowie!
Way to ride ladies! Keep logging....:D

Thanks Bike Momma for bringing us up to date for 2006! So we're almost at 30,000 and we've got 8+ months to go! I think we can do it... I thinkwecan, Ithinkwecan....:p :p :p :p
Okay I just added my 206 miles. That's since I started riding March 18th. Not a lot, but I guess it helps...
hello everyone, I used to be more active on this forum years ago--have rediscovered the forum. My old user name was "stella": forgot my password and modified it to "stella*". Not very original, I know--but: I have a 40y/o brain.
Anyway, I am posting on this thread because I may owe an apology because: I joined team estrogen on the bikejournal.com site without checking with you folks to make sure that was o.k.
let me know if I messed up!
