Dachshund and I did a recovery ride after Saturday's Team In Training slogfest up the Swiss Alps. (OK, we didn't really ride up the Swiss Alps on Saturday, but our legs sure felt like it.)
Anyway, on Sunday we cruised on beautiful Calaveras Road for a little rain riding and relaxation. What did I learn?
- Kool Stop salmon brake pads stop you pretty darned well in the wet
- My helmet rain cover looks silly and slides down my forehead, which is a bit annoying when you have PMS
- My maroon Swobo wool jersey isn't colorfast
- Leftover pasta, a glass of wine, and a fire in the fireplace are the ultimate in post-rainy-ride recovery

Somehow seem to be TWO days ahead of you guys...
... down here instead of the usual one, but anyway, today, 3 March, another 12k on the flat, going down to the drops for a minute at a time and practising changing gear and braking. Getting closer to a hill ride
