Snow + ice = Trainer

Man, this weather is killing me. I'm finally trying to get my butt in gear and fire up the training but Mother Nature is insistent on giving us a Winter we'll remember.

Karen and I got out on Saturday for about 30 miles on the good ol' backrounds around Highland, IL after buying a new refridgerator.

Sunday, Todd Hecht joined us and a group of others for the Gravel Grinder in Hermann. Needless to say, it was an adventure. We got lost, found, then lost again. But 34 miles later we rolled back into Hermann, had a beer, some grub, and headed back to STL.

So, at least I got some outside miles in before committing myself to the trainer!

I'm so ready to take out the new weapon this year and flow on some singletrack. "New Weapon" you ask?!!? Stay tuned.
