14°F w/ a N wind @ 12 mph

yeah - thats the stuff i rode in today. And yeah i commute going north - with wide open stretches of water to the NNW (nearly north and effectively no shield from wind from the North to the South).

I was sweating. too many layers but not uncomfortably so. Big toes got a wee bit cold but here it is 30 minutes later waiting for coffee to brew and blocks to cool down my toes are toasty.

The trailer made the trek, but it was sans kid. Probably a good thing.

Tomorrow, yes, i will ride in, and yes it is supposed to be a mere 7-8°F in the morning. But the wind is supposed to change around to the SSW.

Thanks for the comments there molly - and suds on the soy stuff... good data...

and as they say, you can find statistics to back up any POV... heck people come up with ways to show the earth is less than 10,000 years old using "science" *gasp*

lets not even approach the whole politics side of things

Yall should read Mahk the Shahk's interview over at Cyclingnews.com kinda pissy what the new management did to him, but well...

i guess having a consistent podium rider isn't worth the cash to hang on to him or his bro eh? not all bad - Mahk of course has a great attitude, which is probably the biggest part of his success.

In honor of those two (and yeah its a cyclocross cartoon, and he isn't retiring from that... but anyway its the first image that pops in my head when Frank and Mark are brought up in the same breath)



Also: Don't miss milliman's article over at the snooze he even mentions the way too often overlooked US female cross racer Christine

then and last night before heading out i noticed the headline

BP gone... sad... he was one of the real entertaining guys in the booth... smoking kills - it might take an extra 28 years to catch up with ya... but ya can't escape it...

like anything - moderation ;) soy, diet coke injected in the ass, whatever ya prefer...

hell studies show that water can give lab mice cancer...
