What a difference a year can make. I went to my log today and at 17 February last year I had 9 days of riding and about 350 miles. Through today I have not had a day on the bike in February and I cannot remember the last time I was on the road...The photos tell the tale: first is the scene from our front porch taken yesterday. And second is our backyard, also taken yesterday. Mother nature was dumping another 2 or three inches on top of the 2-3 feet we already have on the ground from last week. It is beautiful, of course, but as I have said throughout this winter there is a very fine line between " wow, isn't it gorgeous" and " enough of this white s**t already."
So in the meantime, the Olympics are on TV and I try to time my indoor bike time with something reasonably energetic and inspiring - curling does not do it for me but watching the cross-country skiers sprints are almost as good as a fast break in a good basketball game.
And here's to a little sun in the long term forecast and back to the roads.
Damn! Look at all that white stuff. I won't tell you how nice the weather has been in SoCal, there are too many people living here already.
ReplyDeleteI looked at my log last year and compared to last year and I am about 600 miles behind my schedule of last year. Got to get back on the bike. I am one of those persons who move to SoCal as I noticed the weather was a little nicer out here.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't wish any more snow for you but I do remember getting snow in mid-March one year back in Michigan. &:(
