It has just been too darned cold here! About a month ago, we got a great big snow! And, usually, here in Flag, we usually get a week or so here and there in the winter where it gets warmer and things have a chance to melt. This year, not a chance! The roads for driving are okay, but all the bike lanes (and shoulders of road) are icy!!!!! Big patches of slick ice and huge piles of hard boulder like ice. Our best road ride out to the Lakes is covered with really icy patches on the small hills! So, even if I wanted to brave the 30 some degree (high for the day) sunshine, I don't want to brave the icy fall. Icy falls hurt way too much!

Mr. Silver, you are doing way better than I am getting out in the cold this year. I just can't hack the idea this year with the weather the way it is.

So, I haven't been doing much on the bike. Got a great hike in this weekend - up the Lost Burrito Trail - it goes straight up the mountain and is a great cardio workout. Got to do more of that.

I'm still playing tennis, which keeps me active, but sure doesn't keep me real fit - I need my bike for that. Here's to hoping for a warmer New Year!
