Indoor blues

We were hoping to actually ride OUTSIDE this weekend, but unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. The winter storm that was suppose to hit us on Friday managed to miss us, but the weather still suxed. Yesterday, started out cold and cloudy, but the sun did eventually come out. Naturally, we were out running errands at the time, so we missed our "window". Today was supposed to have been partly sunny and "warmer" (41 degrees), but the sun NEVER came out. It stayed cloudy ALL DAY and never got above the mid 30s! CRAP! I can ride outside when it's cold - as long as the Sun is out- but when it's cold and cloudy, I'm just miserable!

We did make it out to John Bryan (trails) today to help cut several trees that had fallen on across the trail in the past week. One of the ladies was saying there was about a 1/2 inch of snow on top of a layer of ice on the trails yesterday, but today the snow had melted off and the ice was starting to thaw, which left the trails with a nice layer of ice and mud. And yes, they were slick! There was just no way I could have rode those trail today --heck, just walking them was treacherous in spots.

Next week, I'll continue with my basement training routine and on Thursday we'll go to our team indoor training session. Hopefully, next weekend will be better. We'll still be inside, but we'll be mixing it up a little. We are looking forward to attending the Adventure Summit on Saturday, and then on Sunday we will be racing in the 2nd Team Dayton Indoor Time Trial.

The next weekend, will be THE big wake-up call!! Right now, we are still planning to race in the first of the Colavita Time Trial series.

IS IT SPRING YET?
