Good morning to another cold day in the Seattle area! What ever happened to land of mild winters and summers?
My poor bikes are hanging sadly in the garage. It's even too cold to go mountain biking. I'm susceptible to bronchitis. Last time I had it was four years ago while doing a ride in Montana (in May) with snow, ice, and sleet.
Oh to be warm again and riding with sweat dripping down my nose!
Hang in there girls!

ARGHH. We wanted to take a ride today. Dammit. THIS HAS TO STOP. IT SIMPLY MUST STOP.

I was thinking of taking the mountain bike over to Lake Youngs and tearing through the snow.
On second thought, it occurred to me that those were some big hills that I would need to get up before I got to Lake Youngs.
I decided to stay and ride the exercise bike and jump rope instead.

Think I'll do some shoulder work and some physioball exercises, a few planks (front and side).
Some day I'll find a cheap used trainer that'll fit the Commutermobile, then I'll ride in the house.

I still have a 3x2" hole in my calf and haven't ridden more than a couple of times since I got my bike fixed, so I'm not in good enough shape to go for a ride of more than a couple of miles. But soon, this spring without question, I'll join you guys on rides... Y'all can hold me to it.

I will hold you to that HipGnosis6 because I really would love to meet you and all the rest of you local girls from this forum. All of you! So here's to spring and a ride together some time soon.

If nothing else, today's sun did melt off quite a bit of ice. Still plenty of snow loitering on my front lawn, however. I'm going to hope that tomorrow does not bring too much snow. I will hope that we get rain in the afternoon. And then, perhaps, by Wednesday I can finally get out there and ride a bicycle outdoors for a change.
Perhaps this one:

Anyone want a purple water bottle holder?
