Ugh:|

Well there is one bright side to all the pain and broken pieces that don't allow me to ride a bike anymore that you to can look forward to when you are to old and broken to ride,
..... The pot belly I am acquiring is really more sheik than I could have possibly imagined.

No speed limits or cars!
I just noticed a NEW bike shop opened up in the last couple weeks in my neighborhood. I stopped by yesterday and talked to the owner Shawn for a while. The San Jose Bike Club was having a little meeting which explained the 30 or more people hanging out at the shop. The website is "static", nothing to click on

The store is catering to Road Biking, Mtn Biking, there's a few single speeds and Cyclocross bikes too all in the mid to upper end range it looks like.

Rain + Cold = SUCKS
I don't mind the rain. I actually enjoy the occassional "rain ride". But rain and cold make for nothing but a freezing, miserable time. thumbdown
I can't wait for a bit of warmth to blanket our trails so I can pedal again soon!! After doing everything you can/should on a cold, rainy weekend (clean house, fold laundry, veg out, have soup for dinner, watch every show on HD, surf for porn, etc) - I was bored outta my head! I even broke out the old Play Station 2 and played Tourist Trophy, Devil May Cry 2 and Resident Evil: Veronica Code X!!
Rain... I'm watching you...

I run outdoors when it rains. Did a 4-miler yesterday and my legs are feeling it today
It can be comfortable so long as you have the proper rain gear.
Good way to catch a cold if you ask me!

Seems easier to catch a cold riding in cold / wet weather with the wind factor.
I've been good timing my runs and road bike rides for breaks in the rain. Trail rides, I always have to recable after a rain ride - my red bike still shifts funny after that Tamarancho race where half of it was in a light shower. Makes me not even want to bother with it.

I usually run 3 to 4 miles every M-W-F. Wednesday is always a group run outside as I "PT" (physical training) with my troops (military) in the morning. Sadly, because it is cold and dark before I get out of work, my Mon/Fri runs have been relegated to the gym on the treadmill. I just use this time to work in sprints and interval training - T/Th are for weight training. However, I live for the weekends - where I can put in a good ride every Saturday morning. I'm not left much choice.
Snowboarding anyone?

You don't catch colds from being exposed to rain/cold -- you get it from a virus:|
I haven't been sick in years -- and I used to always swim in the bay and run in the rain -- I rarely catch colds.
Snowboarding anyone?
Let's hit the snow! When?
