it's cold out there!

Woke up this morning to 40 degrees! Brrrrr! Hard to believe that two days ago it was 90 and humid here! Now it's freezing in just a matter of days. (Not a smile on this fair weather gal's face!) Sigh.

Yesterday, Mike's new Seven Sola Ti bicycle frame appeared at the Bike Shop. It's a custom 29er! We needed another bicycle like we need a hole in our head, but what can you do? When I found out Mike was talking to Seven again and was getting a spec ordered for a Verve 29er, I secretly emailed Zac and told him to go ahead and spec out the Verve, but to include a spec for the Sola as well. Not that the Verve wouldn't have been a great bike. It would have been. But with our bikes, we go Gold. (or I guess we go platinum titanium). Right now it's just artwork to hang. It'll be a late winter/early spring before we can afford to get it built up. (Not sure that Mike knows this yet...)

I thought it was cold yesterday, but that wind makes it colder than it really is. Today is even cooler, but I must admit that it is beautiful. Luckily whatever I lack in warm weather riding clothes, Mike has in quantity. I'm 60 lbs lighter, and over a foot shorter than he is...so the fit doesn't work so well though. He's been browsing through some of the new Santini line and said, "Hey, did you see the women's winter clothing line! Wow, it's very nice!" That's the good thing about being so supportive of a very expensive new ride. He's very supportive of me spending dough on the finest in winter riding wear. Assos here I come!!! (-:

We've got a busy weekend planned with the Gopher homecoming football game (against Purdue) in the Twin Cities on Saturday, and then the second (in the series) cross race in St. Cloud on Sunday. In any case, I guess it really is Fall now....

Have a great weekend!
