Fighting off the last bits of a cold, I thought I'd take advantage of a sunny day to dig out the bike and riding gear. It's in the upper 40's, bright sun with a bit of ice in the shady spots. The tires on the Roubaix pumped up fine. I found my helmet, gloves, cleats, water bottles, shorts, tights and undershirt with relative ease. The garage door opener detected my presence and the climb up the driveway wasn't too bad in the big ring. The sun felt good, but the wind was biting. I went back for another layer, and it too wasn't enough. I thought I'd make the best of it and do some sprints up and down 29th. Cold in the shade and nice in the sun, my hands got cold. I thought I might find my cold weather gear upstairs but didn't.
At least I got out and know that I know where most of my gear is.
I weigh under 173 in early Janunary. That's 10 lbs for the year lost and kept off. If I can lose another 7 by the end of March, I could claim 20 (up to 186 in March 2012).
The Santa Fe Century is May 19 this year.
