With temps hanging around zero and wind chills in the negative twenties I decided not to go on the SMBRide. A couple braved the conditions which can be seen on Dano's page, there's a link on the top right.
Not that this is an excuse but this is my first year participating on the winter rides so I'm not completely geared up for these temps...single digits I've done, -24 I can not. Plus I've been having quite a bit of mechanical issues of late and a frozen ride would've left me stranded as one did on the ride, sorry it happened but I'm glad it wasn't me. Next year I should have the necessary layers.
So what's been going on? Well I've been trying to unload the Triumph to pay off some debt and start refocusing on the Stang. I'm still going to try for June of 2009. My dad's car is having some touch up work done so I asked him if I could have my tank painted the same color with his left overs if there was any to be left...he said sure and it'll run me half the cost since he had to buy the material anyways. So I dropped off the tank at the body shop yesterday morning on my way to the fitness center. Yeah instead of biking I went and lifted weights and rode the stationary bikes. I think today I'm gonna try running or else the Elliptical. I could do workout 1 (chest, shoulders, back) but today I think it will not be as busy as tomorrow, so I should take advantage of the machines. I liked to run as I get the best sweat from this but my left shin is really hurting.
The other thing I've been doing in the last couple of days is watching the Barrett Jackson Auto Auction on Speed Network. Pretty cool...I watch to get a feel of prices since I have a restomod...prices have dropped since last year. Oh well. Must be the economy as a whole.
Anyways - Big Game tonight.
Go Pack Go.
later
