Bicycling

     It's December, and I got up this morning feeling really fat.   For a few days, I haven't been able to be on the road cycling, burning calories,  and maintaining conditioning because  of family obligations.  I have got to get out there and burn down the c's!  Doctor's appointments here and doctor appointments there. 
     Oh, sure, it's recommended that you take a break in the winter, but I've already done enough of that and the itch to be on the bike is after me.  That's a good sign that I haven't gone stale. 
     And, wow, the weather has been in a cyclists favor.   Usually, by this time we're shoveling snow and switching to spiked tires.   (This is Michigan.)   But, not yet this year.  
    I'm looking out the window.   The trees are naked, it's cold, but the sky is blue and sun is shining.   Why am I sitting here typing?   Oh, the itch, the itch, the itch to ride.   I gotta go.  Happy cycling.
