OK, OK, OK ! I'll start training, um, tomorrow.

OMG what have I done.

But I take solace in the fact that crazier things have been done in the pursuit of cool cycling clothing.

**jobob** · 09-12-2006, 08:35 AM

Wanna do it with me, Cali?

**jobob** · 09-12-2006, 08:37 AM

And how about you, SK?

**caligurl** · 09-12-2006, 08:37 AM

lol! not in norcal! we can't do rides that involve overnight stays cuz most hotels won't take brie and i refuse to kennel her so that we can do rides!

Jo, have you ever noticed that Cheerleader Cali also thinks anything below 70 degrees is abusive?

no.... below 70 is cool.... 50-60ish is COLD! 40 is ABUSIVE! BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! but i'm acclimated to the desert! i have an excuse!

**caligurl** · 09-12-2006, 08:40 AM

i just like to give everyone what i've always gotten from my cheerleader... the "you can do it" attitude.... i've never been told "you can't do that ride" (meaning abilities) even as a newbie! so i try to pass that on!

**jobob** · 09-12-2006, 08:41 AM

OK, Cali, you're off the hook.

I on the other hand wilt in temperatures above 80 degrees.

I also melt in the rain, though

(cue the Wicked Witch theme song)

**caligurl** · 09-12-2006, 08:46 AM

i don't like cold rain.... (again... BRRRRRRRRRRRR) i don't mind a shower in the summer.... it feels good! but cold rain.. ICK!

ya.... i don't get too many sub 80 rides in spring and summer! we've been starting out our weekend rides at below 80, if we get out early enough... but once the sun is really up.... the heat is on!

i think the 80's is probably my favorite temps to ride in... upper 70's... i've decided i don't like the heat this year either... but it's ride in it or not ride

(brie thanx you for letting me off the hook.... she pouts as is when we leave to ride.... sometimes i hear her cryingn at the door when i stop at the end of the driveway to get my edge, etc all set

.... do ya think she knows it's breaking my heart to hear that??)
