Why, might you ask, are you bummed out this morning, telegirl?

1. Raindrops keep falling on my head. And I refuse to sing that song anymore. At least if it was snowing or freezing, I could drop on my studded tires and ride the dirt roads or snowmobile trails. But mud season #12 isn't letting me get out. And I just can't get my head wrapped around sitting down cellar on the trainer. And I am shocked that I keep gaining weight...really, I'm shocked (hand me another brownie, please).

2. Cyclocross bike is back ordered. Have the pedals. Have some new shoes. No bike. So I get out the pedals and clip them onto the shoes and sit and look at my feet. For some reason, that is distinctly unsatisfying. Even when I pretend to pedal and make wind noises.

3. Haven't done as much road riding as I would have liked to. After one too many close calls, I figured that if I was going to have a life altering bike accident, I would rather have it in the woods than with a car. But I miss it. A lot.

4. I hate being whiney and the only way to get out of that for me is on my bike, so now we are back to reason # 1.
