Had the new bike together, woke up early for some reason, so I did what every normal person does - hop on the bike around 4:30 and ride an extra hour before work!
Nice job Bill!
Sounds normal to me. |

No problem but challenge ends 3/31 just as a heads up. Good thing for us - being in Alaska I would think you could score quite the points very easily! Thanks-- I'm still trying to access the spread sheet since I'm new to this. I think it will be fun and something to add onto for next year. As for an Alaska advantage I didn't see a bonus for -40 Deg. |

| Extreme Veteran 1329 Wausau WI | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2010-2011 Think I am going to have to look at biking outside next winter. Just can't get myself to ride for more than 30 minutes in the basement. |

| Champion 5312 Calgary | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2010-2011 I am so bloody sick of this weather. I am losing my mind. I spend hours looking at the 14 day forecast just waiting for things to warm up. Last week the low was sub -18C every friggin day. Some days it was below -20. Then there was the friggin wind chill, and snow. I thought I froze my face off more than once. And no traction. I got 5000 points last week, last march I don't think I even got 2000 THE WHOLE MONTH, although I can't remember, and I think the only points I got was for riding my bike. Won't be riding my bike soon here. I am sick of it, it is ridiculous. I just want to feel the warm glow of the sun on my back, is that too much to ask? It is -15 and I am going to go run. At least there is no wind. They say 6C on Wednesday. Better bloody well be! Edited by BigDH 2011-03-07 1:18 PM |

I will be happy after reading your message that we are at least quite a bit warmer here (in the 30s today, up from 11 last week). But of course that means more snow - neat! I honestly cannot even fathom when/how the snow is going to melt. I took this picture this weekend. Pretty redonkulous for March:  |

| Champion 10018 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2010-2011 So there's hope then! I can only imagine the flooding, yikes. Fortunately the streets and paths are quite clear, so for 90% of a ride you could get by with slick tires. It's that other 10% at intersections or melting points - yikes. |

| Extreme Veteran 1329 Wausau WI | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2010-2011 We are supposed to get 3 - 6" of heavy wet snow on Wednesday. Thursday I am supposed to do speed work, not sure where I am going to do that. I haven't looked at the school track but I am sure it is still under snow, and I hate the thought of going to the Y. |

It is those key workouts that suffer. I mean it is easy enough to go out in a jog in the middle of a blizzard. The problem is when you have to do a LT workout or speed or something and your pace is all messed up because of the conditions. I never really got this problem before as I didn't do those workouts, but now that I do it is bothersome. |

| Champion 10018 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2010-2011 Looking at the temps where you are, I wouldn't be surprised if you saw a lot of melting by Thursday's run. It may be slushy, yes, but probably not slippery. What I often do is find a good stretch on a path and just run back and forth. I had to do a run LT test in December, found about a half mile stretch of mostly clear path) and just kept turning. Think about a section where there is a lot of sun. I do just the opposite when it's really hot and sunny - run back and forth under tree cover. Good luck! Lumber Dad - 2011-03-08 9:49 AM We are supposed to get 3 - 6" of heavy wet snow on Wednesday.
