I do not normally include my ride comments in the daily update but I am sneaking them in this time. Cold temperatures and a busy Sunday kept me off the bike today. January is a challenging month to get my riding in. It is forecast to warm up some on Tuesday so I hope to get the Motobecane 700HT MTB on the trails that evening. I hope your 2011 is off to a good riding start. The Jalapeno 100 in February is looking inviting because I want some warm weather. Harlingen in February was warm the last time I went there. No wonder the snow birds flock there.
