Treasure Valley Cycling Club

Rob, Harris, Matt, and I had a nice holiday ride. It was plenty for me, I don't think I'm ready for Matt's hardcore Saturdays!

But as fun as that was, I'm still in ski mode. Why won't anybody come up skiing? Haven't you guys ever heard of cross training? I'm checking my schedule now, but I should be putting out message for Feb 18th -- come join the fun!

Jenny and I headed up at 9:00 to ski. We punched through the clouds and were greeted with a perfect, gorgeous day! I'm sure I'll be itching to ride sometime, but for now I just love to head out to ski!

Started at Optimist with my HP buddies. I pulled out my arm warmers, but dropped them on the bike and forgot them. So I pick up the bike and pull the warmers into the rear derailluer. Snap the dang thing off the bike!

So I pull a Fuller and convert it into a single speed. (So what gears should you use? I went with middle chainring, middle cog in back. Probably close to 2:1)

Final verdict -- It was a fun evening, but I'm not anywhere ready for a SS!

The last two nights I've had a terrible time sleeping due to the pain in my chest. My better judgement (Jenny) convinced me to go to a doctor. Today he told me that I either had a bruised or broken rib, but the result was the same so he didn't even bother to xray.

Dropped of my mtn bike at Meridian Cyclery, everything should be dialed in and ready come Spring!
