I burned a vacation day, slept in, took my book to my favorite deli for breakfast, then took my roadie for a loop of SE Denver (55 miles).

I totally recommend ya taking a day off of work once in a while and riding!

AHHAHAAA, I am freee from high school at last! Yesterday, Tuesday, was my last day, it feels really good.

In the past few days I have had nothing to do, on Tuesday my art critique was only 30min, so I biked around the rest of the day, saw my gf, went to some shops, it was a great day weather wise as well.

So in the past two days I have put on about 150km. :O

Today I just sat around in my pajamas all day, it's 11pm and I haven't changed yet :).

But, unfortunately, all this riding was done on my mountain bike, since it is still snowy.

Every time I go on a night ride, uphill, through the snow, on a DH bike, I realize just how hard it is for you old guys!!!

The people that sold us our house were an old retired couple. The guy was a roadie who wanted to ride seven days a week for the rest of his life, so he and the wife packed up and moved to Florida. From what I hear though, one might not survive that long being a roadie in Florida with all those old drivers around.

WTF? No one moves to FL for cycling. You'll get bored within months. AZ or NM is much better.

I think I was reading Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy at the time. Outstanding series.

Man, I burn sick/vacation days typically one or two at a time and space 'em out so I can go to UT, NM, or a winter break ride. I don't know when I'll be able to get to Cali or PNW :(
