late nights=fat ass

Slate reports that staying up late makes you fat, great- half the time I don't ride either my trainer or go out for a night ride starting at 9pm- so while I'm out riding I'm getting fat! That sucks.

New England is in the transition from fall colors to fall doldrums, basically the next month will be full of grey skies, naked trees, lots of rain showers and dark late afternoons. This is a testing time of year. The bike light will be on constant standby and reflective clothing will be always close at hand. If you can keep your fitness through Christmas then you've got a shot at not losing all that hard work from the summer season. By January you can get out and XC ski, which is a great break from riding, and by the end of February the cycling season gets rolling again.

Switching gears, K and I are experiencing wanderlust again- this time (not the first time) Boulder is the bullseye- we shall see. I can tell you Hawaii and Alaska aren't on our radar- freakin' North Korea is going to be putting the hurt on their the economic and tourism trades of our last two states. Not sure what's going to happen with that (is anyone?) but those dudes seem to want to fight and our country seems to doing its best to get them to step outside.

That's it for now.
