Not My Fault

[telegirl]

Ok, so maybe I was a bit anxious to get on the mountain bike trails. Maybe I did take off my studded mountain bike tires and put on the regular trail tires. Maybe I have been road riding and maybe I have taken off my fenders. Maybe I have even started to organize my short sleeved biking jerseys. Maybe I have been a bit overexcited about bike season really starting. Maybe.

BUT I AM NOT TO BLAME FOR SNOW IN THE FORECAST.

It is NOT MY FAULT.

AHHHHHHHHH. Just when you finally think its spring in New England, winter returns. I've been riding outside in the nice weather and now its cold and raw again. I hate going back to indoors on the trainer. Maybe we should invoke the anti snow dance again.

Forget that it's really snow and take the mind set that it's just sand kicked up from the street... wipe it from your glasses pull your hat/helmut down a little tighter, pump the pistons faster. Before you know it... the snow is melted and you're half way through your ride...(good thing this isn't last year-the feedback then would have been to put a pot of tea on the stove, throw a dvd of the Tour- and watch for inspiration)..... tomorrow's another opportunity...

Well, according to the people in my office, I AM to blame as I got my new bike yesterday...

[Grog]

I'm worried to take my fenders off my road bike for the same reason. I'm sure that if I do it it's going to start pouring rain....

Well, according our a bike group that I belong to, it is all ME! Maybe the two of us combined has forced this back on us.

Ah, well, like crump said, I'm going out anyway. Maybe. Or maybe not. I think it is best to keep mother nature guessing......

[SheFly]

Add me to the list of people to blame. Club's first TT of the season is supposed to be this Weds, and I have a brand new TT bike waiting to be tested...

Tellegirl and Cella66,

If you can slow global warming - you go girls! I know, I know, you want spring to spring, but here I am in the southern latitudes and I really don't want sea level to rise. Really don't want the Big Easy to drown, again. So lets hear it for a spring snow!

Care to come down for JazzFest? We have a really nice bike path on the Mississippi River levee. And pollen, take your pick of flavors - oak, pine, flowers. Ah ah aah CHUUU!

[Crankin]

SheFly, do you do the TT that leaves from Lowell Rd. and Barret's Mill?
I'll come watch one of these weeks (my son used to do it).

Robyn (sorry for the hijack)

Yes - that's the one! I think I'll pass this week (BTW Sunday River claims 2-4" of S*** today ). I am usually out there though.... Look for the dork in the NEBC skinsuit with the pink bar tape and saddle .

How long have you been racing for NEBC? Scott (my son) raced for them as a junior for a couple of years (2000-2002).
I will come watch when it's a little warmer!

I started doing the TT as a non-member about 3 years ago, joined the team last year, and did my first year of racing with them. This year, I am captaining the women's Cat 4 team...

Definitely come out when the temps are warmer! Too cold for me at the moment as well. And I'll try to let you know when the tandem will be on the course - that is a sight to see .

Is your son still racing?

p.s.
No "sneet" here yet, but the forecast for the rest of the week is NOT looking good. And I have to ride the trainer tonight as a result . (Attempt to put the conversation back on track... )

[SheFly]

At 9:30, it is now sleeting in Bedford. And it looks as if it could change to white stuff at any time... SIGH

There was hail or graupel or some form of solid precip falling at 8 am at my house this morning. I've been trying to organize canoe practice for my company team (Charles River race on April 29) this week and it doesn't look good. I've been driving around with a boat on my car all week anyway.

Has anyone heard about the big dumping up north? This is from Sunday River's web page:

*Update #3 of the storm - 10:30 am*

We've been in a Sunday River specific snow band all morning and have netted 3" at the base with 5" at the summits. It's still dumping. Quick clip available here. Looks like we're getting a major headstart on the storm that has yet to start yet!!?!! The big stuff rolls in tonight and we're looking at totals between 1 and 2 FEET.

Let's not forget the great snow from Tuesday that got this party started. Check out the photo gallery.

1-2 foot totals are likely by Thursday.
It's going to be a wintry (and glorious) Easter Weekend.

Apparently they picked up between 2"-4" yesterday with another 3"-5" today and it's still snowing . Maybe last weekend wasn't the last skiing for me after all....

Quick, Telegirl, get those boards back out!!!!
