It rained moderately overnight, maybe 0.3-0.5″ around home, and the forecast for the day is for moderate to heavy rain at times. It was no surprise that the numbers of commuters at the train station this morning was much less than on most mornings. For a while I thought I would be the sole cyclist boarding at Mountain View, then Andrew showed up and then two more just as the train arrived. Four soggy souls, much less than the typical 8-15 that board that particular train in the mornings. In the bike car, in between discussion of rain pants, Andrew related tales of the Cyclocross Natz in Kansas City over this past weekend and showed off a few of his pics. You can see a few of them, too; check out his site, CX Magazine. Looks like it was a cold, muddy fun fest. And we think we are hard core for commuting in a little rain.

The socializin’ over the weekend exposed me to some type or types of nasty microbes. I am fighting them off, but that puts a crimp in my riding, playing, working, snuggling, … all sorts of things. Sometimes I see value in being a recluse.
As I sit here avoiding social contact due to the nascent cold I have moved my blogroll off to blogrolling.com. A bit of tweaking CSS, PHP, and other stuff to get it right. My apologies if it looks a bit funky as I try to massage it into submission.
I am about to convert my commuter bike to a fixie, or fixie/SS. The Wife is apparently not thrilled with this decision. Me thinks her mental picture of fixie rider is the messenger types she dealt with when she lived in San Francisco. I will convert, to get away from all the maintenance hassles, chain suck, etc. of the derailleured version of the bike, but need to be sensitive to her fears and assure/convince her that fixie != messenger and, more importantly, fixie != death.
Thursday is usually either city commission meeting night or yoga-then-taqueria-with-the-ladies night. Think tonight will be yoga-at-home-then-under-a-warm-blanket night. Time to crack into the extensive collection of yoga DVD’s.
