OMG! Such a bike nerd! Happy New Year!

[KnottedYet]

Here I am, spending New Year's Eve alone with my bike and my dog. Drinking rum (me) and chewing on Kong stuffed with bikkie (dog), hanging out on TE and composing a review of Icebreaker's wool "Tornado" in my rum-sodden brain.

Oh, dear.... is it curable?

[Trek420]

Hope not

[blackhillsbiker]

Nope. Not curable. But you're in good company. The dogs are snoozing, DH & I are watching Humphrey Bogart, eating popcorn and drinking cheap wine with interesting labels (3 Blind Moose Riesling – better label than wine). Sometimes we find great wines that way. I'm also hanging out on TE and FB. We probably will fall asleep before midnight. Happy New Year!

I'm gonna try.

But I'm looking at Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin at seeing that there are people in Times Square behind barricades all up and down the street. What's the point of that? I mean how much fun can that be?
I know the answer to the second question, I guess they're both pretty much rhetorical.

drinking cheap wine with interesting labels (3 Blind Moose Riesling – better label than wine).

I was looking at wine recently.
I was amazed to discover that Boones Farm is still being produced.
Ed Hardy puts out a wine

i ended up buying (because of the label) "Old Fart" wine. No, really

I just registered myself and my sweetie for a half marathon.
That means more to me than watching a ball drop in 45 min on the Eastern Seaboard. (and certainly more than staying up for another 3 hr 45 min here! I treated patients all day, and dammit, I'm going to bed at 9:00 pm PST!)

We are just chilling at home with the critters. Polished off a bottle of Texas Legato Sweet Surrender wine with my husband. Yummy.

Zen- I have been known to buy wine for the label. I got my Mom a bottle of Martha Stewart wine for Christmas because my aunt calls her Martha due to her craftiness. She loved it.

Happy New Year all!

hey, I love my Icebreaker Tornado! So versatile, you can dress it up or dress it down!

Club ride at 8 a.m. The prime minister of the ride was at the party too...

Happy New Year to all of you and your families.

Well, my and my sweetie just stood out in the freezing cold garage and discussed how we can organize it and store 16 bikes, 3 boats, 1 trailer, 2 sets of cars wheels, skis, snowshoes, waders, a workbench, garden tools, . . ., oh yeah and two cars. Oy. I'll think I'll go back to the wine.

Happy Next Year, y'all.

Something has to hang from the ceiling, but you can figure it all out tomorrow. Go back inside to your glass of wine.

My mileage always drops off in the fall, and this year I had the half marathon in October. Between recovering from the tough back-to-back century event I did the last weekend in September, trying to salvage my run training, tapering for the race and then recovering after it, I rode very little in October. Then the weather starts to go off in Ohio, there's the holidays, moving, and riding in Florida where it's so boring that no one wants to ride any distance even though the weather is usually nice.

I knew I wasn't going to get 5,000 bici miles in '09, but I made the mistake of looking at my year-end running stats after my long run on Wednesday, and realizing that I was either going to have to blow my recovery day yesterday, or finish the year 8 miles short of 750 and 5 miles short of my first 100-mile month. I was a bit twinge-y from my long run, so wound up with the better part of valor - I'll start the year with January being my first 100-mile month, instead.

Our New Year's Day ride was rained out this morning. I was just as happy to turn my alarm off and roll back over in bed. I think I'll probably take the commuter out for just a couple of wet miles, just to kick the year off, although it's too chilly for me to get soaking wet.
