Hah, looks like all the bad weather migrated to CA this weekend ! Glad you folks up north are having a nice dry spell.
We have a pretty big storm forecast for the Bay Area this weekend, with such high winds predicted that the SF Randonneurs 300K was postponed. I wasn't going to ride it, but Lee & I were going to do check-in at the finish this evening.
So I spent the day stretched out on the couch, reading and drinking tea and napping, and listening to the rain pour down.
Now the trainer is calling me ...

No, nothing for me today. I have had several students out with sore throats and probably some who should have stayed home - since it has now migrated to my throat. Nonetheless, it was a relaxing day, watching the pros ride.
Tomorrow, I really should have a long date with Coach Troy if I can't get outside.

LOL, you know you are in the PNW when a "dry spell" is less than 24 hours. It was beautiful for the afternoon today, but it rained in the night.

Rode from Gasworks park to Alki and back.
Felt wimpy almost the whole way, anticipation for tomorrow's ride; Chilly Hilly. But the good news is the weather..
anyway; with stunning views of the Olympic range and Mt Rainer wearing it's cape (see Susan's 5th photo) and all that blue, it was a glorious day even with my bad attitude.
32 miles, mostly flat. Oh, wait until tomorrow.. (grr)

A 22 mile trip to the LBS to buy a pair of black shorts with *harlot* embroidered on the backside in bright red. http://www.harlotwear.com/habitshort.htm
They were on sale, I've wanted some since last year, and it was HOT (at least 55 degrees, probably 60!) and I didn't want to ride in my canvas pants one mile more. It was so warm I even took off my wool jacket for a while.
The shorts are GREAT on the bike, by the way. And made in the US. Wore them home over a pair of Ibex Balance Runners wool undies. http://www.ibexwear.com/shop/Product...ng.php?LPID=45
Saw Quillfred on the trail, and told her to get back on TE!Last edited by KnottedYet; 02-23-2008 at 08:36 PM.
