Sunshine

I have been putting off getting on the bike for about the last month for couple reasons. It is not because I don't like to ride, but skiing has been wonderful and I feel mentally it will be good for me with the long hours that I will be putting in this year.
Yesterday though, was a bike day. How could I resist with the sun shinning and with the tems near 40 degrees. We, Matt N. and I, rode out to St. Joe to explore the new Co Rd 51. I can't wait to do a little hill time trial on that with a road bike. Very nice. I also noticed that the county has done some improvements to Wild Wood ski area on 51. Looks very nice. Hopefully I can make it out there for a ski before we lose all the snow.
The ride from there lead us to some grave for a while and popped us out West of Avon. Just a few hills in there which felt great.
Finally back home with a good almost 4 hrs, I had a 3 minute pit stop, and I was off and running to finalize some year end ski room stuff at the high school. More on that soon.

Riding tip for early spring riding: Bring plenty of nutrition products with, even if you think, "I won't eat all of that."

Just a little tease

I know, I know- it has been way too long since my last update and even the last update was not worth much at all. Well, I have something that is a little worth while but most of it is going to have to wait since my wife and I are going on our third brand new computer in the last couple of weeks. There has been numerous problems with the new ones that we have received and Angela has done a wonderful job handling the problem to figuring what is going on. Not having a computer is not an excuse for not blogging, I know. We have plenty of computers at work and that is exactly where I am sitting.
Tax season is on and our tax appointment is this week. There are just a few things that I need to read through and collect to be ready. Ready as most anyway.
Soon as I can recover some pictures from the old computer, I will post a little about what I was up to over the holiday months. I like posting with pics.
So I will leave you with this image.
Yes, this is going to be my new ride, 2010 Cannondale Team Scalpel. This bike and along with my Team Cannondale Team Scalpel from 2009 will be my race bikes for 2010 24 hour Solo National Championships.

I guess it was a butterfingers game. Not the result MN was looking for.

ViQueens?

Just like all other Minnesotans tonight. I guess we'll have to see what the end result of the Vikings game will be. Stay tuned for more from the last two weeks.

Setting sail

Angela and I are ready to have a little fun. Still does not seem that warm, but when Ben said it is still minus 20 in Minnesota it feels even warmer. I will try and update as we go.

Here I sit at the airport to depart for warmth. I personally can't think of a better time to go someplace warm. First stop miami, then the big boat!

Burglar?

What would you do if you saw a eight foot snowman outside your kitchen window if you wake up in the middle of the night? Well, I give you the update in the a.m. Angela, Danny, and myself went outside for a little midnight fun. Happy Holidays to everyone!
