December biking...cont'd

And need I say more? Maybe four inches of the white stuff as of a few minutes ago and a total of maybe 8 to 12 expected. There will be no bike headed out of this driveway soon. The only good thing to be said is that we do not expect to see landslides.

December biking....

Since my last entry on this forum I have a) survived a nasty bout with a flu-like infection, b) watched the temperatures drop from the balmy 60s to the teens and 20s, and c) missed my stated goal of 5000 miles for the year. Oh well....

Watching the weather last night they said that 19 out of the last 22 days have seen temperatures below average and I can certainly testify to that. I don't mind a little cool weather but gusty winds and 35 degrees just is not fun. Fortunately no snow yet but they are trying to scare us with the predictions for the weekend...we shall see.

In the meantime, I will stick to CNN and ESPN and the indoor bike. Hard to re-create hills but with an hour or so a day the basic conditioning survives - and there is the added advantage of being able to stare down a holiday eggnog with no guilt feelings.

To all who may still occasionally check in to read my mental meanderings I wish you a very Happy Holiday, a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

See you on the road
