    I'm irritated, don't feel well, crabby, feel bloated, my legs itch. I'm restless and impatient.

    It's been six days since I have ridden my bike.

    HELP!!!!

    I'm such a wimp. A month and a half ago, I would have been happy to see weather like this....now it's TOOOOOO cold!

    But I did do a little catch up on running and swimming.

    Silver I'm right there with you. It has been 4 days since I've been on my bike and I'm going crazy. I plan to ride tomorrow afternoon come h*ll or high water (neither is expected here in Shelbyville). The temps are suppose to break the 50's so I'm going to be brave and ride (hand and feet warmers will be activated). The rest of the week is hit or miss (cool and/or rain). I wish normal temperatures would return!

    I hear ya. 3 days off the bike - two of which spent driving 1000 miles to retrieve a new transplanter from Michigan - and I'm READY for my Time Trial DVD tomorrow morning!

    Stinking weather isn't helping. Could we wind up the snow showers for the season? Please?

    Today is my day off, and it's 37 out right now.

    I'm actually considering pulling out the rollers again (like we did yesterday...oh, the 2 of us on side-by-side rollers doing Spinervals. What a sight!).

    Yeah....I really want to put away the long sleeves and tights. If I can't go skiing, what's the point of cold weather???

    Hi, my name is Marcie and I'm a weather wimp. It has been 5 days since I've riden in temperatures above 50.

    I'm going to will the mercury in the thermometer to 50 today so I can at least get in 15 miles. Tomorrow is looking good. I hope to ride here at home, pack the bike and head into Louisville to join the evening club ride.

    Silver, buzz on down and we can get a few miles in before the rain moves in Wednesday.

    HELP!!!!
    You just described me to a T!! My family is practically begging me to just get back on the bike! LOL

    This thread gives me hope. I was just sitting here feeling like a big ole loser because of all the amazingly strong beautiful warrior women I read about in TE who ride rain or shine, warm or cold.

    I'm so glad I'm not the only self proclaimed wimp in town. I absolutely hate riding in the cold. I've done it and I find no fun in it at all. I don't like anything about the cold period - born and raised in Vermont and all I can think about these days is moving south!! Far far more south than NJ.

    T.
