Is it just me or did fall come on with a vengence this year. It seemed like September 15th hit and it has not been above 75 since. Most of the time it feels like it's been in the 50's. I'm not ready for fall.

Around here it happened on 28 September. And then it plummeted and has been hovering between freezing and the low teens. Oh, and snow.

But then again - what did I expect for a mid fall trip into the US's great white neighbor to the north?

Good thing I dont have to do 4 hour training rides until it gets warmer. I dont know anyone in Ohio who would try to do long bike rides in October and November. Unless they were really silly. Really really silly. You dont know anyone like that do you?

I haven't been on my bike at all this month. :-(
I need to HTFU and commute to work a little, if I want to justify my cold weather gear.

Ugh.  Mr. Weatherman is calling for SNOW this Saturday!  UGH!

But you know what the best part of Saturday will be?  No MITers clogging up the Olentangy bike path!  Woot!  I know, it's kinda bratty of me...but srsly they don't share the path very well!

Ugh. Winter I think the high today was only in the 40s. It is also very overcast and rainy. What ever happened to warm, sunny 70- 80 degree days? I want them back!

6 hours for me, too. I may have to do it on the trainer since it will only be in the 30s in the morning. I'm not so tough that I can handle that kind of cold on my bike. So, it looks like my trainer workout will be 60 minutes of Wii zombie shooting, 2 hours of Chris Carmichael's time trial workouts, and 3 hours of Coach Troy and Spinervals. Oh, and then outside for a happy jog. 

Man, I can't wait until B2B is over!!!!

I refuse-REFUSE- to do 6 hours on the trainer. I will be doing my 100+ outside tomorrow come snow, rain or what-have-you. You're welcome to join if you want.
And yeah, I'm looking forward to B2B being over as well.

It was really, really cold today. If you end up going outside to ride tomorrow dress warmly. Even between my wool socks and toe guards my feet were freezing.

I ended up inside. I got a nasty cold, at least I am hoping that's all it is! I feel pretty bad right now and slept for 3 hours after cutting the ride "short" at 5 hours. They say that riding inside is harder than out, and 3 inside hours is worth 4 outside, so I'm hoping 5 hours is enough. "They" being Coach Troy from the Spinervals videos...

How are you feeling about your training? Starting your taper soon? when do you guys get to NC?

I'm no longer b!+ching about the cold. I'll be happy with 50* now, thank you.

Is anyone else over the snow? I can't stand the stuff. I didn't see snow until I was 11 yesrs old. In the last 21 years I've had enough to last a lifetime.

I'm pretty liberal, and I'm starting to think Al gore is full of crap.

I actually love the snow. Me, my wife, and my kids are all skiiers, but I must admit, this is getting out of control. I spent the better part of the day blowing snow. Not to mention, it forces me to do my runs on a treadmill, which I absolutely despise! I think I have had enough and am ready for Spring! Did I really just say I love the snow?

I used to enjoy running in the snow. I still enjoy getting out the snow blower. My basement is so cold it feels like running outside but stuck on a treadmill and riding on the trainer. I have not trained in weeks!!! It better warm up soon so I can get back to training. I have been spending all my free time cutting firewood to keep the house warm.

I am so ready for the snow to stop - I hate the snow - I hate the treadmill and so I really hate the snow. I agree I will be happy when we see 50 degrees and no snow again, actually, at this point, I will take cold, if we could just get rid of the snow.

I like the snow but  I have to admit that I am ready for some warmer weather.  I just hope it doesnt warm up to fast or my area will be flooded again.
