Come on…hurry up

Campy and I went out cross country skiing this morning.  You can tell who is in better shape.  She would run ahead of me the entire time and just wait for me at every corner.  Damn border collies, with some whippet mixed in there, and their desire to run. 

Not good.

With all this snow, it seems as if there was an accident up ahead.  It can’t be good being I have been sitting here for about 10 minutes now.  Let’s hope everyone is OK. 

The change over

It has begun.  Officially changed the bike shop into the ski waxing area.  This signifies that I haven given up on a super early spring and will embrace the winter, even though I don’t like it. 

Time to give the puppies a fresh coat of wax and get out there.  First runs tonight at Whitaker if anyone is interested in laughing at my technique. 

Keeping dry

Lookie lookie what showed up today.  A new pair of SKS Raceblade Long fenders.  I eyed these guys up at Interbike and am glad they are here.  I’m currently using the standard version but they tend to mark up the white paint on the bike.  These guys mount to the skewer and brake arch so they never touch the bike.  Plus, they have about double the coverage. 

Good thing it snowed this morning so I can get out and give them a shot this weekend. (End sarcasm). 

Staying in

The roads might be clear, but with temps and winds like this, there is no need to chance it.  I’m staying in today.  Guess its time to warm up the old trainer. 

Nothing good

Yep….pretty sure nothing good can come from that awful looking blob.  Maybe it will empty itself put in Pa and we won’t get anything.  Or maybe that’s just some wishful thinking. 

Yep…its cold

It seems that fall has left us and winter is in full effect.  Can’t say I’m too excited about it.  Time to warm up the trainer.

Seems like this week is going to have a lot of indoor riding.  Yay for me. 

Radar ears

I just watched Campy’s eyes roll around in her head, telling me she is in a pretty deep sleep.  And even though she’s sleeping, her ears never really lay flat.  They are working all the time. 

All ready

This dog is all prepped for NYE. Seems like all she needs is a fancy hat.
