I saw my first Robin of the season this morning and it was snowing lightly. The poor little bugger was all fluffed up and looked to be trying to pluck a worm out of the frozen soil.

We're having beautiful weather this weekend, sunshine and blue skies with highs in the 50's! It's my honey's 50th birthday today so I think we're heading out for a hike and then out for a fancy dinner tonight.

us too, if you're a duck.
fortunately my husband IS a duck. I am ducking out of our ride and he's going alone. It's pouring here and the forecast for where we're supposed to be riding is worse than here.

I feel liberated. I just deleted my Bike Journal bookmark. No more feeling the pressure of keeping up with the Joneses.

Good for you! I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way when I removed my bike computer. Free!

I'm a duck too, but I enjoyed finally having a day of cloudless sunshine and above-freezing temperatures.

Spring is definitely on its way. Another week and days will be longer than nights. Which is true for anybody in the Northern Hemisphere, but here they'll also be longer than days anywhere in the States south of Nome, Alaska.

well, they canceled the ride but my ducky husband is riding anyway. YUCK!

Here's to knowing when to cut something out of your life!

Mimi, I'm so glad you are not riding in the pouring rain. D is nuts!

**salsabike** · 03-15-2009, 07:33 AM

It is now dropping great big gloopy snowflakes, the biggest snowflakes I've ever seen. MY spouse just headed off to do a 100K. HE is ALSO nuts. Me, I have an hour-long track workout that I have to do soon, but that's only an hour and I'm not likely to fall over and hurt myself during it. Gah. These randonneurs.

**Biciclista** · 03-15-2009, 07:39 AM

Yes, they are the biggest flakes I've ever seen also! and they keep falling! but not sticking yet.
I wonder if i should tell DH that your DH is riding. hmmph.

**salsabike** · 03-15-2009, 07:58 AM

Hmmph is right. Bleah. It's pretty much turned into rain now. I will be heading off for my track workout soon. The nice thing about sprint triathlon training, at least as I am doing it, is that my run and swim workouts are typically about an hour long. I can do ANYTHING for an hour. Then I plan to come back home and pursue some long neglected weaving.

**Biciclista** · 03-15-2009, 07:59 AM

we're going to Bike Expo in a few minutes. We will be in the Redmond Cycling club booth until noon, and then from noon until 3 we'll be in the Seattle Randonneuring booth (sigh)

I hear the weather in the pavillion is pretty bad. Massive water on the floor and cold.

**Zen** · 03-15-2009, 08:26 AM

i just want to go back to bed. I had no idea poker was that much fun

**Tuckervill** · 03-15-2009, 08:35 AM

ha! I don't think it was the poker putting you back in bed!
