No riding Here!

[Surlygirl]

Places we're not likely to ride soon is more like it. I'm in the twenty to thirty of inches of snow belt that is suppose to start this afternoon. I'll have to live vicariously through the rest of you.
don't you just love New England in January!

grrrrr!

I'm moving in with Corsair in Albuquerque, with frequent visits to Trek420 in SanFran.

Do you think they have room for all of us for a few months? Then they can come here in the summer when its unbelievably hot there.

I hear ya pain. I spent yesterday stripping and cleaning my wheels and making them trainer ready...this sucks!! I am thinking about Nevada myself. My bro just moved there and loves it!

Am watching RAM on ch 7 (NBC) 2:30-4:30. Turn it on as the blizzard closes in on us

I knew I should have taped the TDF from the summer, so I could watch it and dream (and get motivated on my trainer) during these kind of days. We're up to about six inches so far, here in western NJ. There will be no outdoor riding for me for a while.
I am thinking I should start calling myself sloweryet.

Im about to head out to the thick of it. 14" so far!
Snow shovel for higher can get some fierce bucks in this area (like 40/hr). As the saying goes, time to make lemonade.

[Surlygirl]

40 bucks and Hour!!!!! Yikes. That's why I have boys. Geez, at that amount you could buy a decent bike by spring.

Alas, it appears this town was taken by Craftsman. All but one person had a snowblower as an xmas gift. GRR.

Last night I dreamed it was one of those early spring days... you know the kind. Really warm even though the highest snow mounds are still hanging out and melting down. I was on my beautiful Bianchi riding for miles and miles. It was sooo nice. Then I woke up and had to let the dogs out. I actually had to shovel out a path for them because the snow drifts were over their heads.

We got 10 inches with huge 2-3 foot drifts yesterday. I shoveled so much I don't even have the energy to go snowshoeing.

For your injoyment, a couple of photos from our weekend "flurry".

These are the stairs (25 thank you) from our front door down to the street, before shoveling:




And this is my JEEP this morning, after spending last night shoveling around her... god I hate snowplow drivers:

Good Afternoon Ladies: let me see - its sunny, clear as a bell and 60 right now here in beautiful downtown Albuquerque! The high tomorrow is 63 but it could turn chilly this weekend with highs only in the upper 50s. Since there are 15 people in my family, I always make sure I can sleep at least 15 - so ya'll come on down!

(ain't I a stinker?)

Empathy for those snowed-in ladies!!!

Snowed deep in the Midwest, too! I think we got hit by the same storm as it headed out your way.......... What a mess. I am spending much more time shoveling and x-country skiing than biking! It's okay - its exercise - but I would rather RIDE my BIKE!

Can anybody draw a snowball hitting corsairmac? A big splat on the screen maybe.
Just kidding. Better be careful, we'll all end up on your doorstep for the winter.
