I'm going to have to ride in this stuff. I've been signed up for the Solvang Century since December and my friends have decided that we still have to go. Luckily, I've managed to talk them in to looking for a hotel room rather than camping, which was our original plan. I had to compromise, though, and agree to ride the 50 miler instead of the full 100 (which has higher climbs and will definitely be in some kind of white stuff).
Think nice warm thoughts for us tomorrow.

Susie... be careful! Lots of black ice in the SC mountains, from what I hear. I hope you get a good ride in. It's actually sunny right now!

OH! and yes, this is just a personal goal... I'm not trying to qualify for anything...

I do about 16 to 17 a day too and try for longer rides on the weekends. Not this weekend of coarse. Is that good? avarage maybe as far as a daily workout? I need to build up cause of my tour in sept so i double up as much as i can in this weather.
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

I am soooo HAPPY. There are so many cancellations for the Solvang ride tomorrow, that we managed to get a hotel room right near the start!
I don't have to camp tonight ... I don't have to camp tonight ... I don't have to camp tonight!
