Is carpy weather when it's raining fish instead of cats and dogs?

Just be glad I haven't yet convinced my little brother to join RA. I made the mistake a week ago of telling him a pun I read on RA and he must have rattled off 40 puns off the top of his head. Kid has WAY too much randomness stored in that noggin of his...
I'll have to tell did that you guys are already talking Feb. biking. He's finally getting over his chest virus, so I'm guessing he'll be out on his wheels this weekend.  |

| My goal for February is just to get my butt on a bike at all.... carpy weather or not. I love my winter sports, but it's been too long since I've ridden. Oh wait, I'm going to Florida on vacation next week.... I think I see a bike rental in my near future. Hey, it might be a beach bike, but it's still a bike, no?! |

Carrie, I'm like you. Just. Get. On. Bike.
Waterforrider, I had a session with a tri-coach this fall and said "yeah, I did those tri's (all sprints) on 20 mpw biking." "20 miles. Per WEEK?!" she says.
heh heh. Forecast for tomorrow's bike ride is rain/snow mix; "feels like" 25 degrees. |

Quote from waterfordrider on 2/2/2008 at 1:29 AM:
Actually, I applied for that job position in that commercial, but they said I was over qualified....
Ok, just to save face, I had it in my head to bike to work the other day, which I do quite often. Only this time it was 7*F out, and the roads were mostly black ice, so I spent a good part of that ride walking to avoid falling. Does that count as living?

I have to report a perfectly carpy bike ride in sleet and high winds (nix the aerobars) this morning. The pricey gear I bought kept my feet dry, but my toes still froze and I had to cut it off at a pathetic half hour.
I'm really disappinted. 
ETA: OK, I'm done whining -- come on, who else biked outside this weekend? |

I'm just starting out cycling. Bought a bike a few weeks ago and got it all nice n fitted. Went out for a short ride yesterday and will again today...but it's in the upper 60's here in Atlanta. does that even count?  |
