Was supposed to roll a couple of hours out in the hills with Mark and wonderboy Schilling but mother nature had other plans. At first, I thought nothing of it, but as the snow continued and the winds picked up I began to get really concerned. Concerned of hitting the deck again to be more specific. The snow started to build ever so slightly along the roadsides and seeing that we were scheduled to hit the hills, my trepidation hit a peak and I bailed. I felt bad to dump Mark, as I really enjoy training with him, but discretion is the better part of valor.

Instead, I had planned on riding the trainer and lifting weights in the basement. However, as noon passed the clouds broke and the sun was out. I decided I'd take a try at my Kirkwood loop and get some fresh air. I managed to get in 90 minutes and 25 miles with some hill work. I really suffer on the hills right now, but it will come around. I did hit a few areas of ice and that got my attention quickly. I'm sure the caution will pass and I'll have other wrecks, but for now I'm focused on building miles and staying upright.
