    "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" Wasn't that the quote from Shining?

    Yes I need to go out and have fun.

    As do I...but the temps won't get warm enough during a time when I am actually FREE to ride I WANT TO RIDE MY BICYCLE

    Can't resist it As a reminder this isn't a work-safe video, but it IS the official Queen video. I had forgotten how much nudity is in it!

    Good post, Sky.

    I've been riding a lot. Today in Florida it is cold and windy. A riding buddy came by and asked if I wanted to ride. I said no. It felt kind of weird to turn down a ride. But life is short, I am retired, and I can sit on the couch today.

    It's cold here today but I've signed up for a 48-mile ride on April 27 so my winter break is officially over. The bike is set up on the trainer and I'm about to ride it.

    Desperately hoping for better weather next weekend (and no snow on Wednesday).

    Daylight saving time in ONE WEEK!!! Sunset after 7pm again!!!!!!

    We have a new manager at work and I've had to work lots of OT since he started (some due to his legitimate learning curve and some due to his forcing me to waste time on useless stuff that put me way behind in getting the actual important stuff done). I told him last week that I am not able to continue working that much overtime. I have two new pairs of bike shorts and a new short-sleeve jersey with matching arm warmers and I intend to use them. (Okay I didn't actually tell him the part about the shorts and the jersey...)

    - Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    Great story and an inspiration. I'm starting to get sick of the trainer and I'm even one of those odd balls that enjoy the trainer a little. Ready to get outside more. Temps aren't all the issue...I'll ride when it's cold, and not windy...it's the slick and slushy roads for me. Would have been out today (above freezing and relatively clear roads), but had family here. Life truly is short, so enjoying some quality time with dear ol' Dad was worth not being out there
