I almost wimped out last Friday. It was cold, windy and slippery. I took Mikey to school, did some computer work and decided to eat lunch with my mom and Jen at ESU. As I drove through the snow, I was thinking of all the other things I had to do, like shovel the driveway, fix a leaky bathroom vent and the hole in the wall from my last accident workout on the rollers. I had already tweeted something cool about riding in the snow, showing how manly I was, so I couldn’t wimp out.

I put on my gear and rode through the unshoveled driveway and looked at my front stoop covered by a snowdrift. “Better get Alex on that”, I thought. I didn’t want to take away his opportunity to shine.
So it was a cold ride. I am sick of them. I muscled out 17 miles in the snow and didn’t fall once. I bet cycling in Arizona is nice about now. At least I got outside and rode.
