Last post-work ride of 2020. Got back to the car at 6:00, as the sun sank below the Crystal Springs gap. Next week this time, it will be 5:00, and to get in a ride after work I'd have to stop at 3:00. SO, the question is, can I motivate myself to get up at 6:30AM (formerly 7:30), and hit the road by 7:30 so I can get in a ride before work? Or am I doomed to Zwift?

Then when everything went "pear shaped" this year, getting up that early was, again, easy. Dawn patrol getting all my miles in before the "normal" woke up and got out there. Just do it. Dawn is a great time of day.

Since I woke up it dropped from 41* to 39* here so I'm staying indoors. In fairness, I also refuse to get winter clothes for the rather rare use cases for them here; next week the lows will be in the 50s and should be ok.

We've got 36ş but forecast winds 15-25 with gusts to 40. On the good side, we're headed for 55ş by noon.

If you wait until it's injured to do this, it'll be too painful. But if you start while it's feeling good, you may not ever injure it again. Cold in the fall has always played tricks on my back, sudden barometric pressure changes too.
