    First ride of the year... in shorts.

    Temps were in the low 70's in the Delaware valley today. Rode in shorts and a longsleeve jersey. Not good for skiing, though.

    What a difference a day makes.

    Yesterday I skied in beautiful spring conditions and then went for a short ride in shorts and a long sleeve jersey - which was almost too much. Today my home resorts get seventeen inches of snow and were back to winter.

    I should have skied today too.

    Same here... road at Hall Ranch near Boulder in 74 degree weather. It was perfect, except that it is still winter. Apparently my ski legs helped, because I definitely wasn't hurting as much as I thought I would be.

    Biked in Moab last weekend - awesome, but it's hot as hell already...

    And skied sweet powder all afternoon today.

    i expect my lap times to go way down though now that I'm taking calf plasma.

    Last major crash I suffered occurred in CP. I hit a curb because I was too busy checking out the "scenery"
