    Angry I hate TV weather forecasters... lyin' scum, every one!

    All local networks PROMISED today would be sunny and dry... 65.

    Even weather.com and weather.gov

    It's noon, it's drizzly and temps in the 40's. I'm soooo hating it!!!

    no regrets!

    It does stink. I was set to go on a 45 mile ride today. Oh well. It's freezing out!!
    Denise and I rode about 15.5 miles yesterday. It started raining right when we started, but it wasn't too bad. At least it's better than nothing. Tomorrow looks good, so another short, after work ride.

    Tour De Georgia

    so Spazz - do you wanna know who won???
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    no... i know who won. i "watched" it on the internet on the days it was happening. cyclenews had a real time verbal description going on...

    so i didn't watch the race, but i did read it.

    So Hubby and I rode part of the Hopkinton Ramble on Saturday. When we started it was just overcast but we ended up doing 25 miles in the drizzle and cold. I was beat. I don't know how I'm going to keep up with you girls!!! You'll just have to have a loooonnnng casual lunch and wait for me to get there. If it gets dark send out a search party.

    Yesterday we went to Belmont Wheelworks. Hundreds of bikes right. They didn't have ONE that fit me, a short 5'0 woman. Yes we asked. It is so frustrating not being able to test ride bikes. I did sit on a 44 Specialized but it still wasn't right. Maybe with 650 wheels I could get the clearance. ARG.
    I'm seriously considering custom now. If I'm going to spend that kind of money, I want it to fit right, not just almost. Rant over.

    Jody;

    Have you tried Bicycle Alley here in Worcester??? They usually have a small frame or two around? What are you looking for? I might be able to point
    you into the right shop.

    The bikes I ride - 1 Peter Mooney, & 2 Bike Fridays - are all custom. I've had good experience w/ custom, and even with custom you can agree on a price range. I'd say go for it!
