Busy week - didn't get the chance to update, but luckily was able to keep my workouts on schedule. Flurries and icy roads the past several days, so all miles were on the trainer. *le sigh*

Thursday - 18 miles
Saturday - 13 miles
Sunday - 18 miles

15 miles on the trainer last night. 6 inches of snow dumped here overnight, but with a warming trend on the way, the weekend looks promising.

and 12 more miles.
Quite wet in the morning.
Front wheel bearing was making noises. Need to take her apart and clean her this weekend.

a good 30 miles, at a decent pace (still sub 20 mph), all things considered. And without too much suffering.
Of course, I had a rest day yesterday.
65 miles this week. Not too shabby for the first real week of the season.

12 miles yesterday. 6 this morning.
Possibly another 6 this evening, unless the weather turns. Not prepared for more than a drizzle. Word of mouth is, that snow's coming back soon.

And 6 to get home again. Sooo cold. Ice crystals suspended in the air, and a nasty wind from all directions.
Some of the worst conditions I've ever been riding in.

26 miles last night. First evening after-work ride of the season. Cold and breezy, but still better than the trainer.

It's that time of year when my level of boredom/frustration with riding the trainer finally overrides my dislike for riding in the cold.

Saturday - 46 miles
Sunday - 18 miles

I wish I could say the same - but we had 30mph+ gusts on saturday, rain and 45mph gusts on sunday, and snow today.
March is turning out to be no better than February, after all. Even April is expected to be wetter and colder, than the average.
Oh well, I am psyching myself up for a ride to work tomorrow. I hope I can stick to it.

Weather's warming up here again, so I started cycling again. Damn, I suck after taking time off for a few months.

I did 12 miles in the past 2 days. Working my way back to 10 minute runs instead of 20 minutes.

Did my 12 miles yesterday. Conditions were surprisingly good, it got quite warm over night, and there was only a little snow left along the roads.

And 12 more today. Getting home was hell. Got off to a late start, stuck in traffic, kamikaze cyclists all around me, blind pedestrians doing crazy Ivans...
Yeah, at least I got home, I guess.

Crazy Ivans...great reference! Scares the crap out of me when walkers do them on the bike path just as you are about to pass them.

I hear you i'm going through a bad case of trainer fatigue right now

6 months on it and I can barely stand to look at it, luckily weather is getting better

plus twelve!
Took a little deviation on the way home, went by a colleague that spends his days skiing, and passed him a phone to run some tests on. Made pretty good time otherwise. Legs are starting to get heavy towards the end of the week :)
