    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Hey Mate no need to apologise I was teasing when I typed that. Its so hard typing sometimes to get the right feelings across.

    Keep those miles coming you Southern Hemisphere girls.

    All the warm weather girls will have to do the riding for us all for now. Then when Spring hits us Northern gals we'll take over from the Southern gals who will be exhausted at that point! Like a giant relay race!

    Yeah... I knew you were just joshing, Trek... but I didn't think to look at the names - I know you are Antipodean too!!!

    Anyways Lisa... I reckon we get the better part of the deal... we get to set a beginning goal for you all... then we have a rest while you reach our mileage and set us our final goal. BUT you do NOT get a rest! You have to do it in one hit...

    Then Spring arrives, we are rested and rearing to go and get to chase the "score"... woohoo!

    Good relay of a kind!

    hey

    Hey, what's happened?? Geonz, Easterbird, kaytee & pinkbike... Geonz-YOu're normally ahead of me on the TE standings over at BJ.

    I am a bit worried.

    Light? LPH? RR? Thistle? Rey?

    If you're doing indoor km's, that's ok too Just want to make sure you guys are still out there!!

    I'm still here canuck! Still some snow in the woods, so no biking in the weekends, and I try to squeeze in a ski trip or two during the week.

    But the guys right behind me on my bike-to-work campaign stats have started smirking about how they're closing in. Nr. 3 recently passed nr. 2 on the distance stats and sent me an email with 1 sentence:

    "First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin"

    Hmpf.

    Biking to work with skis strapped to my bike MIGHT be possible, but skiing home with my BIKE in tow sounds a bit too MacGyverish.

    I'm still here but am chomping at the bit and very frustrated. We had to cut last Sunday's rides short due to freezing rain on the road, and for same reason our indoor group spin session was canceled Thursday night (and I worked late?!). Today is GORGEOUS outdoors and where am I? Indoors at the dental office! DH is doing an emergency root canal, and no staff was available to go in with him today. I hope they'll finish up soon, maybe we can get 30 miles anyway. Sheesh.
