Day 3 soloflex

Cross bike in the snow.

I had thought I might drop off a bag flight had borrowed from bash today if the weather was decent. First check of the radar showed showed a big blob of rain, but nothing falling at my door. I took the time for some stretching before heading out in the cold, then tried to mount my big light on the cross bike - but it had no chance of fitting without some new parts.

By then it was drizzling a bit, but I thought I'd see how far west I could get before the real weather hit and then see if I could race it home. The drizzle was light snow by the time I got all the layers on, but somehow that seemed better than rain. It seemed unlikely that I would make the whole trip so I didn't even take the bag.

Within 2km, the snow flakes were big and fat. By 4km they covered my glasses. I noticed that close to half the drivers hadn't put their lights on so decided they weren't likely to notice me as they came over a hill. One more climb and I headed back. The bike was pretty good in the conditions. I just didn't trust the other people on the road.

Day 2 soloflex

Awesome to have a chance to go out for a ride at lunch. A bit of a chill in the air and quite windy, but everything was just right inside my four layers.

I would have stayed out much longer if I didn't have to make a trip to the lab.

Day 1 free weights and push ups

Trainer spin. I left work after only 9 hours so I wouldn't have Togo a second day with no exercise.
