I get to go to the eye doc. Then I get to go hurt myself, riding climbs I have not seen from the bike since last year :D
I think that calls for a plethora of :banana: :banana: :banana:
I get to hand in my resignation today. I'm not sure how the Lord will view that considering the day I chose to do it on. I pray for forgiveness...
T minus two hours and counting.

hang in there, zank. doing the hard things like that are what separate the successful/happy people from the ones who get stuck doing something they don't like for their whole lives.
My four year old Concours (sadly outgrown, top tube challenged) has been rehashed as a TT bike. Picked it up the other day. Hoped to do a first ride today, sun out, temperature acceptable, but my area of NJ has a Wind Warning, 20-30mph with gusts to 40mph.
Maybe some NCAA games and the Tiger Woods show, if shown, watched from the trainer, which, for me, is not the torture it is for others.

Re: biking today - would like to but wind gusts to 45mph here! Maybe it will die down by later this afternoon/early evening?
Zank, you're probably handing it in as I type. I 2nd StormyClouds' response and wish you the best of luck.
Do you guys really find it that bad to ride in the wind?
I've been doing it plenty.. it is annoying but if you just resign yourself it's not that bad. It shouldn't be making you crash or throwing you around the road too bad.
Just don't make the mistake I made yesterday.. leaned my concours against a wall to grab a paper towel after the ride.. ten seconds. And in that time the wind took it for a ride and knocked it down hard. Luckily the only damage was a slight scratch on the saddle, handlebar tape, and rear deraiuller.
The tailwinds make up for it. :)

No riding - On a brief vacation in DC with my family. I got to take a 9 and 14 year old to the International Spy Museum, out for tacos, and for a long walk from one end of the Mall to the other under a clear blue sky. We told jokes to keep the youngster distracted and moving until we could secure some ice cream. And next, a whole lot of friends getting together for Shabbat dinner in about 30 minutes.
A lovely day.

That sounds like fun. I can't wait to take my kids to D.C.. It was fun to have lived in D.C. and Baltimore for so long. We've moved up to the sticks here in NH, and we'll go back and see everything with them again anew.

I went skiing with my son who is now home for spring break. Hadn't seen him in over 5 weeks, hadn't skied together in 2 months. It was a good day.

Went for a ride with my oldest daughter. We saw some native Rainbow Trout in Browns Creek (one of which probably went between 2 and 3 pounds), scared up a covey of quail and rode over the San Andreas Fault without incident. It wasn't a Good Friday, it was a great Friday!

Re-built my Uniscasi in preparation for an upcoming trip to Santa B. / Solvang.
Got in a 2 hr ride, albeit a cold one; 25 deg. with 20-30 mph gusts from the N. Still, it beat sitting on the effin trainer.
...and yes, I did ride with my iPod. Rocked out to some old Yes, Genesis and ELP.

I worked my a$$ off yesterday, but it felt great! It has been a rough winter for most, economically, here in New England; nevertheless, on Good Friday people eat fish. It was nice to see some smiling familiar faces.
