    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    heat

    it hit 40C today!!! I went for a ride early this morning but the heat hit me about 15km from home . I was desperate for shade & there isn't any on the bike path . I'm so glad for our reverse cycle air con

    I had a peek at next week's temps & oooo..it's going to be 27C!!! I'm looking forward to some cooler temps so i can ride to uni. I wanted to this week but with temps around 37C, biking in the middle of the day without any shade just didn't appeal...

    It's my day off, it's going to be 60 degrees, and I have a cold!!!
    I have to miss my first group ride of the season, which conveniently is starting right by my house.
    Oh well. It's an excuse to miss class tonight. I have to get better for tomorrow night. It's restaurant week and we are going to my favorite place in the North End.

    H€ll and Back

    I'm happy to report having had an idea "stolen". Remember when I proposed a bike ride "To H€ll and Back", or maybe it was "H€ll on Wheels"? Well, I mentioned the idea to a neighbor (the guy who invented "Trampe" [Stomper] the bike lift: http://www.trampe.no/english/), who mentioned it to the local chapter of the national bike club ... and next weekend they're gonna do it http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=327417146729 The head of the chapter sent me a special invitation to join, but it's still snowing out, too cold for me to ride. No way I'll be in shape for this by next weekend. It's 26 miles each way, and some serious hills Still ... if the sun is shining, if it's warmed up by that day, if my guts are in a good mood, then maybe, just maybe I'll tag along as "pigtail". After all, I can always cross-train the hills, and I can catch a train back.

    Dumb question

    Hi all, I've signed up for a charity ride and put a link to my fundraising page in my signature. If I want the link to say something like "my fundraising page" instead of the literal url, how do I do that?

    No dumb questions.

    Type in "my fundraising page" or whatever you want it to say.

    Then select that text and click on the WWW link icon above the text box (the one that looks like a globe and two links of chain).

    Insert the URL in the box that pops up and click OK.

    If you want to be sure of it, click Preview Signature and try the link from the preview pane to make sure it works.
