Day 16
Outside, one hour.
It has warmed to near 40 degrees, so it was time break the boredom of riding in the basement... with the spiders. A little windy, sunny and quiet:
And salty> Sligo creek was like a Vermont back road. The salt trucks dispatched by Montgomery County ("MoCo") deposited hundreds of pounds of salt per square yard of road. It was like a Bolivian salt mine:
...pummeling the the 0.8" of snow that we've received this month into oblivion. MoCo gets an A for effort, and a C- for efficiency. Sorry MoCo.
I have not ridden 16 times this year. So, has the purpose of this effort been lived up to? Is something smugly, naively or foolishly called a year in the saddle as success when its efforts will not sum to a year? The answers are yes. Before starting this series of posts, I had not ridden since July. Now, I've ridden 8 times in twice as many days. Not bad.

... Day 11
Basement. 35 minutes. Two ants in the spider trap. Evidence of spiders nearby (webs). Patience, patience.
No riding in the last several days. I don't know how the next several will go. Well I hope.

Days #5, 6 and 7 (warning, lame)
Day #5 - basement... 5 minutes, yes, that's right, 5 minutes. In jeans and some svelte shearling lined slippers. But wait, it gets even better...
Day #6 - 0 minutes
Day #7 - 0 minutes
No excuses, I simply didn't do it. Redemption on Day #8. Oh, and I'll provide a spider trap update for the untold millions of you who are hanging on every word of my blog.

Day #4
Basement, 35 minutes. Read some stuff for work. I also opened the spider traps I referenced in yesterday's post. Here's what I found:
The print is small, so I will quote my favorite part "...spiders and homeowners have never had a working relationship." I couldn't agree more.
