Cabin fever and the long haul
I spent some time today messing about with bikes, strapping a twofish bottle cage to the top tube of the Brompton, washing out a bunch of water bottles, thinking about adjusting stem height on the Riv. I am itching to ride, and the cold has been driving me crazy. For whatever reason, be it spoiled by the past 2 mild winters, I hate the cold this year. I feel creaky and inflexible and any time spent outside right now seems like too long. For the first time in my life I have some understanding of why people retire to Florida from here. I've been reading the BromptonTalk and iBob lists, and I really want to get out on the road. Even if just to get to work and back. This month and February are the Wednesday of the winter - it's all plodding endurance.
