Finally, a dry morning.

I might actually be able to get off the rollers today.

The forecast for the end of the week is great, sunny and in the 60's. I would like to do the Hocking Hills race, but we have visitors coming in for the weekend, so I will have to get my ride in early both Saturday and Sunday (if it's dry).

I will need to spend some time the next few days listing items on Ebay. I have a lot of cycling kits that I cant wear, or havent worn. I might even put my goalie gear up. Somehow I think I am totally done with hockey.

Almost two weeks to Hawaii. Will I go unemployed or one who dodged the bullet. I might find out today.

Tomorrow is D Day

And it's not about taxes.

Five hundred jobs are being eliminated, and tomorrow we hear where the cuts are being made.

Will I make the cut? Why do I feel I have a bullseye on my back?

Race Recap

Deer Creek- April 11

Not much to recap....but here it is.

Instead of the Big Brother audition, I opted to head for the race instead. I had already paid my entry fee. (Don't worry Big Brother..you will get my audition tape!)

It was the first race of the season for me, so I wasn't too sure what to expect.

It was a windy, brisk days (upper 40's, winds gusty from the NE. Seemed like a constat headwind). Not a difficult course, but the wind was going to be trouble for anyone who got dropped. And that was me. Count it as a training ride.

Next race- Gettysburg, OH. April 26

Decent weekend

I didn't get the miles I wanted. And I wasn't fully recovered from yeserday's race

It was sunny, but the winds were brisk and with temps in the low 50’s it made for some brisk miles

 

TGIF, and in 3 weeks it will be "Aloha"!

And in 22 days we sail from Honolulu!

My week on call is over, meaning I can get back to a normal life. Two pages the whole week which is good, but it's a relief knowing I dont have to carry the company crackberry with me everywhere, and means I can get a decent ride in, finally.

Last week was a bust. Saturday was clear, but cool and windy. I spent most of the day in garden centers. No ride. Sunday, the weather was better, and I did get in a decent ride, but still not what I wanted or needed. Since I was on call, I had to keep it close to home.

The weather this week has been up and down. Cold and rain/snow mix on Mon and Tue, sunny but cool and windy on Wed and Thur. Today is forecated to be wet and cool.

But, we are forecasted to have a sunny weekend. although temps will still be a bit below normal. Hoepfully I can out for a decent ride tomorrow afteroon. I've got a lot on plate, so I will have to make time.

I had originally planned on racing the Deer Creek Road Race tomorrow. When I entered I was afraid Saturday was going to be a bad day to race, and that's exaclty the way it's turning out to be.
