A pox on Mother Nature

**im4smiley** · 02-28-2006, 02:09 PM

No riding for me today I like warmer weather. It was about 25 degrees I think today. (2-8 tonight) I did go to the bike shop today to look at my bike, they are putting new computer on it. If only it would warm up about 20 degrees I could ride my new bike!!

Gosh ya'll I'm so sorry to hear about your weather! 71 here, and it just now clouded up which doesn't mean rain, it just means we got clouds! lol I actually got to ride the Trek this am (the bike withOut the pack) coz I wasn't going to be packing as many clothes home! Now I just need to motivate myself to start riding at lunch again!

ON the other hand, we actually HAVE water here,

unlike my poor (biological) sisters in the southwest (Phoenix and Mule Creek)!

How is it possible, in a ride that's essentially a big CIRCLE, to have a headwind the ENTIRE time????

ROFL - don't know about your state but it actually IS possible here.....we have mountains with canyons on one side of the city and volcanoes on the other so depending on the wind direction, it can hit one of those barriers and cause "canyon winds" and we can have headwinds from all 4 directions. Course, it makes for some Awesome hot air ballooning!

You should've gone the other way around the circle.

Which corner of the house am I supposed to go to? And, yeah, this is how you get headwinds the entire time. I was going to do Spinverals but I think I need to delay a bit.

Um. Scary!!!! Stay safe, SK.

DH is going to Sac this afternoon for a mediation. I will tell him to watch for tornadoes. (I hope he picks up Pietro's for dinner on the way home as ordered. I am fairly addicted to their Italian sausage.)
