Short, windy day

It's really nice out this a.m. The sun is fully out and it's almost 45*. There is a super stiff wind though. I'd say it's close to 10mph, which isn't too bad, but w/ almost 30mph gusts. I couldn't really decided what I wanted to do, so I rode a loop I made in the really cold part of the year, just to be able to get outside. It's about 17miles, so it's short and has 2 climbs on it. I rode it at tempo, not hard, not easy keeping a good cadence. Nothing big, but WINDY. I had it took me about 10-15 minutes of intrapersonal banter to get myself out of bed this a.m. My legs a are a little sore, or I can feel them anyway, from the last two days and Sunday's ride. Based on that I almost had myself convinced to stay in bed for more recovery.I'm glad I got out though, once I did. I plan an easy spin tomorrow, but I'm thinking my easy spin(s) may have to be inside on rollers from now on due to easy roads not existing here. That's the ONLY problem riding here, easy is a thing of the past. I'll get something figured out...

The new greatest thing ever award goes to:
cycling.tv.

This rules. You can watch almost every race that happens in Europe, live or delyaed, for free on your PC. I'm super into it. The coverage is by far, leaps and bounds, etc. the best I've seen. Way better than any tv networks and most races are in their entirety. It has tons of road, MTB, track, tri, it is my new favortie thing.

I'll have to agree with you 110 percent on the Cycling.TV it RULES! Check out the worlds Men's and women's World from 2005.
Also, they are suppose to have full coverage of the spring classics.
