Preparing for a big weekend

Today was a commute and did a nice little recovery/preparation for tomorrow.  I am planning a 40-60 mile ride tomorrow all depending on the temps.  As of now, it is scheduled for a high of 24 with some snow, so I’m not all that amped up about going out in that weather mostly because I cant find my good winter gloves and balaclava.   My plan is to just head out, and when I can’t stand it anymore, come back.  Pretty simple plan.

Speaking of cold weather, I have something that I need to get off my chest.  My fiance has now been terribly sick for the past week and I have figured out why.  She is currently working at a preschool with a child as his aid, and she told me today they have a 45 minute recess everyday, plus a 30 minute recess before school starts.  Now, that is 1 hour, 15 minutes that the children are outside.  Last week, I don’t really recall it being much higher than 15 degrees outside and these supposedly educated school teachers are give preschoolers 1:15 outside every day.  What goes on with these people??  Umm hey, you see all those sick kids?? Ever think its because they are outside for an hour everyday in no doubt negative degree weather (with the wind chill) everyday??  Seriously, those people need to be smacked in the head.
