I pressed hard to ride the first two days of 2010. My wimpy cut-off temperature of 60 degrees was never reached so I bundled up and hit the road with my Garmin Edge 305 recording my timid efforts. Friday was 25 miles and Saturday netted 20 miles. I have not set my goal for the month yet though. Goals are a motivation for me.
Apparently other people have issues riding in January since there are only a few organized rides during the month. I am eying the Jalapeno 100 in Harlingen on February 13th. This could be my opportunity to thaw out and still ride. I have seen a couple of fellow riders on the road. Later this week a major artic cold front is coming to southeast Texas so the riding will be limited.
Can you say “hello windtrainer?”

It’s 2 p.m., and I’m getting ready to go ride. Temp 47 and sunny in Austin. I’m going to squeeze in a few miles while I have the chance, because we won’t be getting much road work in later this week. Besides, it’s a chance for me to try out my new leg warmers.
I am envious. Work is a necessary evil in order to afford the bike stuff.
