Q, thanks, but didn't do it. I was definitely on the fence, and last week I sort of messed up my riding week and didn't get in the 70 mile test ride I sort of wanted to do as a barometer before deciding on today's event.

All day I've been a little bit sorry, but truly, relieved. And, every time I look outside and see the wind, clouds and cold air, I'm feeling glad I'm not out there! I am thinking I might like to do the route myself in a couple months when the weather is warmer.

I know, I'm a weeny. I'm a little down and whiny about the cold. Just tired of being chilly, and it is that time of year when I wish we could count on sun. Thanks for listening...
