First: Go EAGLES!  I’m not going to get my hopes up but it was a fun day of football for Philly fans yesterday.

Friday:  I rode with Charles Hanlon, young guy, only a junior in High School and very enthusiastic about the bike.  We rode by this Space Age house in Palm.  It’s been there for at least 15 years.  It appears to be made with some sort of fiberglass.  I wonder how loud it gets inside when it rains?

Saturday: Bobby Lea, Ken Walsh, Zwizanski and myself pedaled out to the Willowdale ride.  A solid group showed up despite the damp roads and chilly air.

Sunday: Bobby, Zwizanski, Paproski,  Moskal and I pedaled up to the Derby.  Warmth and the Holidays brought out some good friends.  New vid below (also can be see higher quality by going here).

There are some strong riders and good friends that live in Pittsburgh.  P-Burgh IS a cool town but if you live there, and want to race a bike, you are stuck driving six hours one way every weekend to race.  This is commitment/love for the sport.

I keep suggesting they just move to Philly.  Philly is ALSO cool and a much easier commute to just about every race on the east compared to Pitt.

Here’s another reason NOT to live in Pittsburgh.

Well, they do have Danny Chew and the Dirty Dozen…

The recent weather here has not been very conducive to cycling outside.  Yes; could be worse.  Yes; could be better.  No complaints.  Just stating fact.

I did get in a good day Saturday with Mueller as we road down the path to meet the 9 a.m. ride that leaves Cadence.  Suffered up some hills with a good group of people.  Turned out to be a great day.

Today was not the same.  Trainer/rollers for me.  Freezing rain overnight made it slick out there, Jill and I heard lots of sirens throughout the morning.

Waiting for spring, it will come.  Here’s something to keep us motivated.
