We're Ready

Ah, some Boston this morning.

I am a cyclist. I have to remind myself of that. I think that's one reason why I've left my Cervélo by my desk at the office. The poor thing's just sat there for weeks now as I've, for one reason after another, failed to ride at all. Now, does this mean that I've have not exercise whatsoever? Why, yes. Yes it does. I finally at least got on the NordicTrack this morning for the first time since last Winter. Pathetic. However, I am a cyclist.

So, now that the weather has finally turned for the worse and temperatures have finally dropped, I've gotten myself ready to ride. I have a bike, clothes, meals, and hope. These will all be with me at the office in mere minutes.

Now, I just have to get days when I will not be soaked by rain during either the ride home or to work. It looks like that will be Wednesday. No matter, I will be ready when the weather is. I guess that I'm kind of a fair weather cyclist, but that is what I am. I can take cold; I can take hot. I can take dry; but I don't do well with rain. I guess I've just gotten out of the routine of it since living in Miami and Houston where I would often have to hang my shoes in front of a fan to dry them overnight after a commute home in the torrential rain. I look back on those days with fondness, but don't necessarily want to relive them right now. Especially if the rain is combined with cold and I get all hypothermic during a ride. I'm okay with dry.

Well, I'm off to work in my motorized vehicle. I'll watch for you all out there on the roads until I can join you on my bicycle.
