Have we had ENOUGH rain yet??

[wabisabi]

YUM.

I actually think that the connection is my friendly local internet cafe, the owner of which I have a total crush on! So it is more fun to go over there and banter with him anyway.

One of the people from our riding group posted to our list that there was a massive landslide on the road above the beach that is part of our regular route, complete with trees and everything. Each time there is an earthquake some of the "wrinkles" in the road get bigger (there is now a 3-4" drop on some parts from part of the pavement to the other, and even some mysterious "holes). There is a casino along the road, so it will probably get fixed We'll probably have to stick to the highway on our next few rides.

The coach and I got out for some hill interval work. I'm still a bit fatigued from the Tough Love video I did on Tuesday. But still it was nice to be outside.

Wow...cool! I wish I could go see that. Earthquakes are one of my fascinations. Awesome power.

Related to this topic, just wanted to share my news that I got permission from the powers-that-be at the job here to ride my trainer indoors during inclement weather during my lunch hour (just using a quiet hallway with a outlet plug for a fan, showers downstairs for clean-up afterwards). That'll give me a little more time to ride during the week, and I can avoid the rain, flats, and traffic. Neato!

I was so hoping to have three straight days to ride, but it looks like that's not gonna happen. I guess that means time in the gym instead. Gaaahhh! I need to ride!

We just got our new Kurt Kinietics Spinervals trainer, and Saturday will be my first time back on the bike since surgery (I;ll see if Coach Tropy will elt me take it easy for the first week or 2!). So all this rain (while it's soaking my basement ) is not going to keep me from getting back in the saddle. But really, in a week or two, it better stop because I want to be OUTSIDE RIDING! Only 5 months to ALC

That's it exactly! When I think about it, I get REALLY nervous!
Rain, rain, go away!

The weather in Tucson for the next week is upper 60's, lower 70's during the day. Oh, did I mention I'm strapped into this *^&%$ neck brace for the next three weeks and off my bike for 2 months????

And you ladies are

Sitting next to the windows
Nosed pressed to the pane
Steam coming from your breath
Watching the rain

(I really have too much time on my hands...)

I wish I could trade weather with you!!!

Well, good news for you CA grrls... according to the nat'l weather service, the sun comes out Tues, stays out Weds and, since I am coming to town, will hopefully stay out through at least part of my stay .

It would be terribly inhospitable for Momma Nature to rain on my house hunting parade you see

It's a downpour in the East Bay right now, just getting it outa the system so we can show Spazz the CA sun. I think any workout this weekend will be inside, dojo, cycleops....cleaning the humble abode

and later on she writes....I went to the dojo and it was closed for the holiday so I dropped by to the LBS and dropped off the Motobecane frame I found. Owner Chris will make it into a fixed gear at least that's the plan.

I told him no rush, if he doesn't get to it till next year that's ok ;-)

We didn't discuss how yet or details because there was sawdust and dust flying everywhere, furniture movin' around. Those of you in the East Bay and if you know Robinson Wheelworks you're in for a treat next time you go. Who says straight guys can't decorate? These guys can.

They've remodeled, redone the flooring and it's fabulous. If you've been there before you won't believe it's not 10' bigger in all directions, the space is just cleaner, opened up, better lit. Grand re-opening planned for next Saturday.

hey velo - hows the snow going over your way? Saw on the news that England had a big dump of it.

Geez, we made it back just in the nick of time. Where the accidents were last night on Interstate 80 is where the freeway was closed this morning due to flooding. Then, a mud slide on I-80 near Truckee. Those of us living in the I-80 corridor aren't going east or west for a while.

[slinkedog]

Sheesh! This storm is a humdinger! Part of our fence blew over last night. I think it's a good thing we got our three towering sweet gums trimmed this fall!
