Who was I kidding. There is no cycling in central PA in the heart of Winter. I had all intentions of trying to ride at least once during the week. Yeah right! The roads have been treated and are covered in a filmy white substance. Every hill and corner has mounds of either ice melt or cinders (or both). So it looks like my Winter cycling is on ice until at least March ... pun intended.
It's a freakin' Winter Wonderland out there. Hey, if that's your thing ... good for you. I've been standing outside wasting aerosol can after aerosol can. 'Come on Global Warming!!'
There are a few bright spots however. One is a friend of mine who is an avid skier and works part time at a local slope insists that this region is in for a major warm up in February. He says that the powers that be at the resort consult the national weather service and this is what they are being told.
The other thing is I just received my tickets to see the Phillies beat the Pirates in Clearwater in March. At least it will be warm in Florida. We are so going to be a Corona commercial on the beach in March!
So as for today ... It is 8 degrees outside as I type! I'm off to work at the second of three Bicycle maintenance clinics offered by our local bike club. My name tag tells the world that I am an 'Instructor'. Opinions vary on that count. I can change a mean tire and keep my rig clean ... 'POOF! You are now an instructor'. Gee thanks Mr. Wizard!
Peace out!
