    Must.ride.bicycle

    I'm irritated, don't feel well, crabby, feel bloated, my legs itch. I'm restless and impatient.

    It's been six days since I have ridden my bike.

    HELP!!!!

    I think it's the potato skins, wings, and cheese sticks she ate at dinner!

    I'm such a wimp. A month and a half ago, I would have been happy to see weather like this....now it's TOOOOOO cold!

    But I did do a little catch up on running and swimming.

    Silver I'm right there with you. It has been 4 days since I've been on my bike and I'm going crazy. I plan to ride tomorrow afternoon come h*ll or high water (neither is expected here in Shelbyville). The temps are suppose to break the 50's so I'm going to be brave and ride (hand and feet warmers will be activated). The rest of the week is hit or miss (cool and/or rain). I wish normal temperatures would return!

    You just described me to a T!! My family is practically begging me to just get back on the bike! LOL

    This thread gives me hope. I was just sitting here feeling like a big ole loser because of all the amazingly strong beautiful warrior women I read about in TE who ride rain or shine, warm or cold.

    I'm so glad I'm not the only self proclaimed wimp in town. I absolutely hate riding in the cold. I've done it and I find no fun in it at all. I don't like anything about the cold period - born and raised in Vermont and all I can think about these days is moving south!! Far far more south than NJ.

    Hi, my name is Marcie and I rode 21 miles today and it was only 47 F! Of course I had to put on my shorts, my leg warmers, my wind tights, my arm warmers, my winter jersey, my wind jacket, my wool hood, my ear muffs, my glover liners and my winter gloves. The sun disappeared somewhere on this ride and the wind started blowing and I was wishing I was at home but I stuck it out and finished. It is now time to crawl into warm sleeping bag, curl up with my new book and take a nap (I love spring break!).

    I'm off for a 30-mile ride with friends. It's usually a "recovery" ride but having ridden only 32 miles this weekend, there's not much to recover from.
    It's 46 degrees right now and winds are low. How sad is it that I'm utterly thrilled with that? It's certainly better than 26 degrees with 25 mph winds. I'm easy to please apparently. That said, I'd pay a king's ransom right now for a 70-degree day.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
