Music makes the world go round

I've added a playlist to my blog - to this one anyway. Music tells a lot about a person. Do they conform? Do they live in the past? Are the "alternative"? I have many moods that are reflective of and sometimes dictated by my mood. I think it must be that way with a lot of people.
Yesterday's entry motivated me to go out for a short ride today and boy have I slipped. The legs were fine; it was the lungs! I would like to be in shape before spring instead of eating into the cycling season with a buildup. Hear it may snow again - rollers it is!

It's about that time!

Well, January '09 is in full swing and with a few single digit days letting up, the feeling of the need to get out there is arising.
After Italy last fall, I rode maybe four times then called it a year at just under my goal of 3000mi. The few rain days in Italy were enough to barely miss the goal(original plan of 1k in Italy alone would have put me far over). One day trip from Sienna to Volterra was about 10,000 of vertical climbing! Granted, I wasted a few really nice late fall days but I had little else to prove to myself after Italy.
Been in the garage working on motorcycle projects this winter so the idea of rebuilding a few cool bicycles appears much less daunting. Maybe it's just the motivation to ride. Thoughts of building a breakdown bike for later travels is on the mind too.

Was just married in Dec so in clearing the house out for Linda's stuff, we've decided to make an area in the basement for our trainers, bike building bench, etc.
Get on those trainers and rollers with us so when spring hits we'll be up and running! Let's set some goals for this year too!
