its crummy out.

since its gotten cold and rather crummy, i haven't been riding for fun as much, actually that makes it sound like i'm riding somewhat...that's a lie. i think i've ridden the road bike once since the end of october, and the mtn bike is still in pieces, likely to remain as such for a long time. still riding the fixie around town more often than not.

thanksgiving break was nice. visiting with the family was good. but as usual the break was too long for me. i've been saying it for a while, but i wish we'd have a fall break sometime earlier in october, while the weather is still nice, rather than a full week for thanksgiving. its too close to the end of the semester and i'm not good at coming back with so little left. oh well. i remember my first year when we only had the last two days off for thanksgiving. no one liked that either.

on the riding front...today i was nearly blown off the bike on the way home. the wind around here is acting up something fierce tonight. plus earlier today, after classes, i had the distinct pleasure of riding to work in the rain. then driving around in circles for the next few hours with a wet bottom. i have GOT to get me some fenders.... it may sound it, but i'm not complaining, the whole time i can't help but smile...wet winter-esque roads = super fun fix riding.

and with that.......hope for snow....
