Nothing dire so far, but have gotten warnings that there "might" be delays. Going through Dulles so as long as we can get there, we can rent a car (hopefully) and drive, or failing that, Amtrak. Really will just be glad to be out of Texas for the rest of the freeze... if we can get out.
You do know it’s freezing in Dulles too right?
My yard is currently crunchy.

82 miles short of 5000 goal for the year and Mrs RSbob gave me a miserable head cold. “In sickness and in health”….blah blah blah
If I can squeak in 10 low cadence miles a day (yes sick in more ways than one) can get there from here.
I believe this qualifies under “addiction”

No, minimum of 30 miles while sick gets you in. It’s in the fine print.

Freezing... almost everywhere. Yes. I am not comfortable in Texas in the freezes since Uri. I want to be out of it. I also want to see my grandmother, who is deteriorating enough she talks in present-tense about needing to help the social services children she worked with when I was small.

Looks like I win the Wi-Fi speed contest. Who would have thought that the Mbps in podunk-ville, IL would be so quick?

I hear those plastic body panels pop right out, if they don’t crack first. Might need a little touch up paint too.

Time to ride. If Whyfi had picked up the bike he could have joined me. He prolly feels at home with these temperatures.

Sierra hotel. I have been in the front office in the conditions experienced last night, and have landed not thinking much of it. I can’t recall ever being in the back, I was expecting to hear the engines spool up at any second followed by a climbing sensation. I honestly thought the crew was gunna give up and who knows what our alternate airport was, but he pushed through and got us home.
Edit: Let me put it this way. I had to physically work to keep my car on the road on my 50 mile drive home from the airport.

You know you’re riding hard, when the blood in your body wants to leave.

Let’s see, there was the group that complained that it’s always winter on the northern hemisphere during the festive 500. Australians have it easy.
Let’s see, oh yea, Rapha shouldn’t do this over Christmas because “I” have commitments. Wish I caught his name, I would like to meet the person responsible for gravity.
There was the person complaining that it was too many KM in the festive 500. The festive 500 should be actually 200 km.
