Well, I like being in 3d place because of alphabetical order. I had plans to ride Tuesday when it was 60 out, but the run off from the melting snow was awful. Even on my heavy Voodoo bike, (with no fenders), I wasn't really looking forward to it. There was hardly room on the street for cars.
Tomorrow is going to be in the high forties and clear. The snow is gone until Sunday night, so maybe a ride tomorrow.

You know, you have to go down to 91st place to find a club with fewer miles per ride than ours. What's up with that?? Are these guys for real? Doesn't anyone go out for 30-milers?

Yeah... I sometimes wonder at the miles some of these folks put in - the ones who are not professional cyclists and who have full-time jobs.

He can do this because we have a farm, and being self-employed he can fit work around cycling. in the middle of winter, he can bike in the middle of the day.
If I tried to do these kms on and hold down my full-time job - I would be getting up at 3/4in the morning, or biking in the evening/night. Maybe thats what these guys do?

Get riding RoadRaven! I'm off on holiday for six days - you could build an unassailable lead.
