The past couple of weekends have been all solo. Leaving only one track in the snow covered roads that I traveled. Now I know why I started hosting gravel grinders. It gets kind of lonely out there only surrounded by the cold snow and your thoughts.
Conditions have been trying at times which is one reason I have been riding solo. Not too many enjoy this type of riding. On my rides I have yet to see another cyclist. I did see one lady out on a run yesterday. Made me feel good for a few minutes that I was not the only fool out in this mess. The other reason is total lack of motivation. I did get on the trainer twice but that was no fun at all. I now know why Christopher has given up on this cycling stuff this winter - it totally sucks.
Winter has been long this year just like this icicle. I am hoping old
man winter will break its hold on us soon. Otherwise I may have to
start looking for a new place to call home.
The wind really cuts into you as
it blows over the snow packed fields, which only adds to its
strength. During yesterday's ride I got so cold that I actually considered calling Carolynn and having her come pick me up. Several miles of positive reinforcements worked enough to allow me to continue on. I have had it with this cold ass weather and all this snow. This Florida native is
officially done with winter.

I understand completely my friend. After racing in Texas this past weekend, leaving 75* temps there, and coming back here to snow still on the ground, the wife and I have been discussing putting the house on the market and moving back to the Oklahoma City area. grandkids, and warm weather are calling our names.
