A big snow storm is headed our way for this weekend. Time to go look for some ski goggles for this weekend's ride.

I have a hard time keeping my eyes open when snowflakes are hitting my face. Maybe I should get some ski goggles for riding in inclement weather.

I wish I had started cycling when I was 21. I would be awesome by now. I'm not enjoying this age of self-awareness. We all start out as children, a time when we are oblivious to reality. Then comes the age of regret filled self-awareness. Eventually we'll get to the golden age of "I don't give a crap". That's what I'm looking forward to.

February. Day 32. I'm tired.

It's official, January is a perfect month. This morning I did one lap for a January total of 121 miles on my bike and 10,979 calories burned....well, according to mapmyride.com. I don't know how you can really know how many calories you burn. 11,000 calories sounds a bit inflated to me. As it gets warmer out and the days get longer it will be more like 121 miles a week rather than a month but we'll cross that bridge when we stumble over it.

5 miles in the snow today. It really wasn't too bad. I almost crashed on my second lap around the neighborhood, but otherwise it was kind of fun. I still prefer sunny, 70 degree, weather though.

Tomorrow is the last day of January. I just need to ride tomorrow and it will be a perfect month. Spring can't come fast enough. I can't wait to put on some real miles.

Day 29. I was supposed to ride 10 miles but I didn't. I only did one lap for 2.7 miles. No regrets, no apologies. I'm in this for the long haul.

Today I witnessed a very slender woman sit down at a table with a cheeseburger and fries. She dismantled the burger, tossing the buns aside and then cut and mixed what was left like a tossed salad and then ate it with a fork and knife. Interesting.
