Last night, Travis noted on our team's Facebook page that we need to start riding next week, if we haven't been riding yet, to follow the MS Society training plan for the June ride. To help with this, he took my crummy .pdf calendar in the team Google docs folder (with all the maps I uploaded/made) and made a Google calendar. I think I will link the maps for group rides to the calendar. Ooh-la-la.
So, you say we need to start riding next week? Well guess who rode her bike yesterday?!? Woohoo!
For the record, a substantial amount of snow is still on the ground (see photo below; snow makes a good kick-stand!) and there is a ton of sand on streets and bike paths, wide and deepish puddles on bike paths, and water and potholes on city streets. The rain we are supposed to get Saturday will help with sand and snow, but the ground is frozen, so the water has a dilemma: pool in a comfy spot, or find an unobstructed storm sewer?
I took a picture of my wet and dirty bike. I'm not sure whether you can get a good view. I should've cleaned my bike before putting it away... I hope I can ride a short bit tonight. It is supposed to rain on Saturday and maybe snow on Sunday.
Oh, and we aren't just fancy with our technology. No, no, no. I've been waiting to mention this special development, planning to unveil it when the time was right. What is it? Are you ready? Ok.
It might be hard to see (I accidentally deleted the zoomed-in photo and now it is dark out). On the full-sized photo of my bike,check out my new handlebar wrap job! (The bike shop did it.) It is so symmetrical! So not unravel-ish! So not white with smudgy hand prints! And, despite this being a family-friendly blog, I can't resist saying that it is even a little bad*ss!
Let the training begin!
