We had work on Columbus day, but no school. So, I took the opportunity to bring my wife’s car into the shop, and to ride my road bike to work. I haven’t been on the road bike since my trip to NY, as it needs an overhaul – which will be one of my winter basement projects. On Tuesday I worked from home. I was lazy in the morning, so I drove Lily to school. When it was time to pick her up I took my mountain bike (with the trail-a-bike attached). Wednesday and Thursday were rainy, and today was lazy.

I think the change of season has brought cooler temperatures, accompanied with less daylight – which make me lazy lazy lazy. It takes quite a bit of effort to bike my daughter to school – getting everything ready and set up. So recently I have started giving up on it, not enough time in the morning. So, I call for an official end of Biking Season.

This means that I’ll set up the trainer in the basement, only bike on the weekends, and move on to my winter exercise routine. I’ll be alternating weight days and aerobic days, either exercising early morning or after the kids go to sleep at night.
