    Good luck and have fun! We have frozen slushy roads here so no riding for me until at least the end of the week so I hope you do get a good ride!

    Good luck, and stay warm!

    It's full-on snowing here and the streets are kind of icky.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Did you ride?
    It's getting to the time of year where I will be dragging the trainer out. I am debating whether to ride with my club on Wednesday. It's barely going to be 30 at the start, but it's down your way, Red, on the East Bay bike path, so I suspect winds. There's an alternative hike I could do, as I am not the only one in the group who is not keen on the conditions for riding. And, I have a paper I should work on, plus I need to be home by 4 (there's a party afterward), since it's my anniversary. Is it worth it for a 22 mile ride, 1 hr.+ drive? I am at the tipping point!

    I think she is frozen. Poor Red. Girl...you are much braver than me. I was griping about 50 degrees & 15-20mph winds yesterday. You go girl! Or should I say hurry up & get back in?!

    I did it! It wasn't bad at all. It's so easy to psych myself out. The wind was hard heading out, but it was totally fun coming back.

    I have to share my new tip--tights (the kind you wear with a skirt) under my knickers! It was perfect! My cold weather cycling tights make me slide all over my saddle, so I hate them. This was totally warm and comfortable. I also wore ballet leg warmers over my knickers. I could be an extra in "Flashdance" in this get-up.

    I probably wouldn't bother. That bike path isn't all that exciting. It's very flat and yes, it's supposed to be really windy Wed.
