It's Monday, and It's Bloody Cold

Cold is good when it's describing beer, otherwise I can do without it. Now there is, what I consider to be, a general misconception about what cold is. So to clear things up, here is how my personal thermometer works:

<60 Intolerably Cold
60-70 Cold
70-80 Nice
80-90 Warm
90-100 Ideal
100-110 Getting uncomfortable
110+ Hot

I view people that speak of things like 20 degrees, the same way I view people that speak of getting up at 4am, or eating dinner before 8pm, or going to church on Sunday morning, or watching NASCAR on TV. I know that things like this happen, but I don't want any part of it.

So when I say "it's bloody cold", I mean this:



I'm trying to not deal with the fact that in three days, I'll be dealing with:




Better to not think about it yet....

Saturday was fun. I went up to Mt Sutro to do some volunteer work restoring trails.

It was a good group of people. Lot's of other cyclists pitching in. Dan from SF Urban Riders was one of the regulars and it was good to meet him. Everyone there was nice, and we got a lot done.

I tried to get a picture of E doing some work, but I couldn't get a good one, so you'll just have to believe that she did it.

Dinner at John's was outstanding as always. And was a great end to the day.

Sunday, I made myself get out and ride Conzelman, even though it was really too cold to be outdoors, I did it anyway. HTFU is my new bike riding motto. So I'm not going to let frostbite stand between me and becoming a better/faster rider.

So there.
