UltraRob's Adventures

I now have the pictures from my trip to the Eiseman Hut on my website.

Today it was cold, windy, and snowy. It was a good day to stay inside. I don't mind skiing or hiking in the cold but I'd rather not be on the bike. When I was in college, I rode 10 miles each and didn't have a vehicle so I rode whatever the weather was. The coldest was -10 degrees and the most new snow was 7 inches. Now it's too easy to be lazy when the weather isn't nice. There's a reason my friend never talked me into doing the Iditasport Extreme although I think he finished twice. It doesn't seem it's being held anymore. Now there's the Susitna 100 held on part of the same course. It's on February 18 this year and Jill is doing it and writes an interesting blog.

I'm going to go hop on the trainer and spin for a bit now. My legs are still pretty tired from skiing so I'll take it easy. Tomorrow I'm supposed to do 7 hours on the bike but it's supposed to be around 30 with winds gusts up to 35 mph. There's ice and snow on the roads but it may melt off tomorrow afternoon. I think I'll do a shorter mountain bike ride tomorrow and then do a long road ride on Sunday.
