Cycling in the trade winds... or just overcycling

Sweet! at least it's not in the trade winds! :D

Granted. And it fails to rain.


I wish autumn would arrive.

Overcycling is no good. Hope it heals soon! flowerforyou

Granted, but you'll have to rake leaves all day long.

I wish winter wasn't a season.

Me too! Thanks. I refrained from riding this week (well, except for about 60 miles) and will see what next week is like.

Granted. Tens of thousands of species perish.

I wish my housework would do itself.

"Except for 60 miles"??!!?? Do you do century rides??

Granted, but you still can't leave the house.

I wish I had some ice to go with my drink right now.

Not yet. I had myself scheduled for an organized one today, but decided it imprudent. I'm expecting to do one next month in the Vegas area. So far my longest day has been 83.

Granted. It has mysterious black flecks.

I wish someone would turn down the thermostat in the big blue room about 5 degrees.

OMG...that is awesome. I'm thinking about doing one sometime next year. I hear the training is brutal!!

Granted, but it will keep going down 5 degree per minute until the room turns to ice.

I wish the weekend wasn't almost over.

I don't think it's that brutal. Some said I was overdoing it, but until this week, I would have disagreed. I've lost 30 lbs in the past 3 months, but that was by design -- I easily could have eaten more :)

If you're current pic is recent, I'd say with an active winter and 8 or 9 weeks of training in the spring you'd easily be able to do it. A lot less if you're more active than my almost completely sedentary self of 3 months ago ;)

Granted. Paychecks cease to flow.

I wish my dog could hear again.

Yea, I've trained for other things before. But the biking is really hard on the back and arse! laugh Plus, I've wiped out on my bike before and that's no fun at all.

Granted, but he'll bark at every little noise all day long!

I wish I was tired!!

Well... the back issue might be manageable with weight training, but if you sail or row, I'd think your back should be okay. I'm not sure there is a cure for the other :|

I wonder why you wish such a thing.
Granted.
The dog and jackhammers continue to assault your ears.

I wish Stone Brewing were closer.

True. But sailing and rowing you are using various muscle groups. I can't imagine sitting and peddling a bike for that many miles!

Granted, but you'll never have a good yield. (you are talking beer, aren't you??) huh

I wish I had some chocolate right now.

The limited range of positions is definitely the worst aspect.

Ah... i am talking beer... and about a brewer near San Diego (the seem to keep moving north).

Granted. It seems the ambient temperature is well above it's melting point, so it is spread in a rather thin film more or less everywhere.

I wish the computer mouse had never been invented.

Granted, but then how would we point and click??

I wish we didn't have to exercise to stay healthy!!grumble

Why point and click?!? (Momma always said....)


Granted. Subsequently you begin to resemble a sponge.

I wish I had an extra 4 hours per day :)

laugh laugh Momma's always right!!

Granted, but you'll just have to spend more time at the office.

I wish they had good Tex Mex in SF.

Granted. The bay area is much drier.
(btw, there's great tex mex in this little town)

I wish I could get good chinese or thai around here.

Granted, but it's all made with cat meat. sick sick

Hahaha! I was thinking of that idea last week on Kaua'i... where the place is littered with feral chickens, but cats are scarce.

Granted. Belarussia.

I wish there was time this year to cruise to Alaska.

laugh laugh Yeah, Kaua'i is known for that. Kind of gross to think about that! sick sick

Granted, but your cruise ship will hit an iceberg, a la titanic! laugh

I wish I see Denali Park, too!

Granted. The earth tilts a couple degrees (what was that about banishing a season?) and it remains dark 24 hours of the day (and cold).

I wish Montana was ready for skiing.

Granted, but you lose your equipment on the way there.

I wish I had some ice cream right now
