Every year I tell myself I'll ski, but every year I find there's only a day or two when snow conditions are inviting enough for me, clumsy skier that I am ... and with my luck those days I'm locked into lectures or meetings or off to a conference somewhere. Last year I did spin classes at a gym. That took the extra incentives of an affordable gym membership, an inspiring spin instructor, and the Cinderella Classic 30th anniversary ride. The big question this year is will I manage to keep up the momentum. Gym memberships are more costly here. I have less time now that I'm back from sabbatical. And there are no organized rides at my level to look forward to, at least not locally. So now I have to be self-motivated . Well, there will probably be some peer pressure from the family, and from TE friends. Keep nagging at me, gals.
