Rage Rage against the crappy weather - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

01-16-2005, 05:10 AM

Looking out my window, I think I may be able to ride my bike today
after church. Then tonight snow is expected..tomorrow the snow will
continue...according to the weather on the internet...the snow will be
here most of the week.

Looks like the gym is in again this week. I have discovered one thing
about riding a bicycle as recreation and exercise....it is not a year
'round sport in Jersey so ya better have alternate exercise plans.

I need a winter sport. My son snowboards. Maybe I should take up a
winter sport. But I can't think of one. What the heck do you do in
Jersey in the winter for fun outdoors? I know this is a bycycle NG, but
some of you out here in on the east coast must have other
hobbies....what the heck do you do for exercise and recreation when you
can't ride? Excluding the gym, because that's work. Yesterday I
watched the Jets looooose :-( and I cleaned my house. That was not fun.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Walk, run, cross country ski if we ever get any snow!

Go to a gym and do treadmill or other gadget if you can't get out.

How about them Steelers!!!

Do not go gentle into falling snow
Cyclists should spin and rave at cold and ice
Rage, Rage, against the absence of sun's glow.

Though randoneers ride longer at one go
Because their bikes have lights, all mounted twice
Do not go gentle into falling snow.

Mass riders, the last wave by, as car horns blow
Their frail deeds might have mocked the cagers' vice
Rage, Rage again the absence of sun's glow.

Messengers who whirl and sing like birds below
And note, too late, the birds' south-bound advice
Do not go gentle into falling snow.

Commuting bikes, who mock the traffic's' flow
Brake lights could blaze like meteors, but no dice
Rage, Rage, against he absence of sun's glow.

And you, on RecBikesMisc, wanting to go
Curse, Bless me now with weather somewhat nice
Do not go gentle into falling snow
Rage, Rage, against the absence of sun's glow.

I've set my goal as a sprint triathlon in May (750 meter swim, 11 mile
bike, 5 k run). That gives me other things to do when conditions aren't
good for bicycling. Running I can do in the dark, and to some extent in
the rain. Swimming in the pool I can do no matter how bad the weather.
I'm laughing at myself for how my body and mind get confused trying to
keep track of three different sports.
