Less

One day without audio or video, it's all out there I just need to get it. Tomorrow turns around, the biggest months are coming and the season isn't far off, at all. I listen closely and feel the fresh air, a little warmer and fading bite of winter, I know we have more coming, just a bit less.

Early

Thanks to Jeff for making the morning a bit smoother. New gear to test on the commute. It was long and slow today, 2.5 hours with not a whole lot of stopping, just pushing through a foot of fresh. I felt slow the whole time, and sweaty. Not enough vents on a warm morning. I feel like I did 4 hours on the bike. Maybe 5. More than a few broken dishes.

More?

I don't think winter is getting old as much as I think I need to get out in it more. The snow is great, use it for something other than snow-shoveling workouts.

sled

I saw a lady run a kid over on the sledding hill today, we left soon after, "you can't fix stupid" is the line that comes to mind from a famous comedian. It looked like the kid got his leg broken, I don't think it was. Rollers, weather too fickle to pick a quiet pursuit. I feel good about the world, little fixes for a faster future.

New

Sleeping, napping thru winter, I sort of feel like a bear, hibernating, barely getting in and out of days. It becomes frustrating, not having the pedals right there. Indoor solutions.

Where?

I don't know where this road is but I know want to find it and ride it both ways. It is somewhere in the Pyrenees, I think. They have good bread and coffee there. I need to find this climb. The more I ride the more I want to go ride new roads, like this one.

Ends

Bells

This sort of goes along with Georgia's post the other day. Pretty good stuff. I stole it from Pan-Dan very good reading if you like that kind of thing.

Close

Looking for the clearing in between the blocks. Too much fixed, not enough free; time and bikes. New treats at home, we'll see how the maiden effort comes out tonight or tomorrow. In time it all gets easier, the sadist fades into the rhythm of good (better) weather rides. Right now, I should pretty much shrink wrap myself.

Soup

The never ending train, once it starts it's all I can do to keep it going. Slowing down only makes it harder to start up again. Pushing through the harder days to get at the easier ones. All of them are good, as long as the soup is good, all is good. Fun everywhere right now with the early races up in the air, the base work gets an extra few weeks.
