Tomorrow we are supposed to go from the 50s to the teens in a matter of hours. Because it's still going to be wet, they are worried about a flash freeze on roads and sidewalks. Single digit windchills Saturday. I have a big bag of snow melt left over from last winter. Winds could gust up to 60 mph, causing the chance of down wires from broken tree limbs. My batteries are charged. Between all that and the holiday, grocery stores are very crowded. Can't wait to see the lines at Total Wine on my way home.
Guess there will be more Zwifting. Who am I kidding though? I’m not biking outside until May at the earliest…

I just talked to my son. He got a call from his new employer (starts mid-January) today to tell him that they are bumping his starting pay by more than 10%.
WTF???
That has never happened to me.

I think it’s safe to say that I did my last outdoor ride for the year, yesterday.

I am askeered that this applies to me too, but I am crossing my fingers that maybe I can get one or two more in later next week. Certainly there will be none this weekend.

I ran to the Total Wine a few years ago with my son right before Christmas. Bought some stuff for personal use as well as some client appreciation gifts. Total bill was close to $1k. As we walked to the car, he said, "So that's what a liquor store run looks like when you are not a college student." That gave me a chuckle.

I got out for $60! That's the least I've ever spent there.

I might go over 60, but not by much. Just getting a Tiagra level brandy for eggnog, and a 12-pack of beer. Anchor Christmas beer if they have it, good ol' Anchor Steam if they don't.

I bribed myself with the offer of taking today off, if I completed my self evaluation at work yesterday. It worked! So I took today off and celebrated the start of Winter, and Winter Break, with a nice 34 mile ride. At first I feared I overdressed, but then the sun went behind the clouds and steadfastly refused to come back out, so it turned out to have been the right choice. The Litespeed was awesome as always - have I mentioned that I ******g LOVE this bike?

Yesterday I started my ride on the travel bike--I want it really dialed in this time. I travel in June. It's a 58cm, and the rest are 60 and 61. It has 38cm bars and the rest have 42. It's chromoly and rides nicer than expected. But its brakes are worthless, so I turned back for the Paramount. Barring rain, I'll go out again tomorrow.
