A cyclist can come across a lot of adversity while trying to train and enjoy the sport of cycling as it's not always black and white, but how they deal with that adversity may alter their success for the better or for the worst. This blog is about what I'm going through as a cyclist while trying to be a husband, father, and working for the “man”. Of course life is more involved than that, but this is one piece of it...my piece...more or less.

Baby it's cold outside!!
It was a cold one out today, about 28 degrees with a 16 degree wind chill but I still managed to ride outside for 2 hours and was so glad that I got to get out of the house. It's days like today that really improve mental toughness because if I can ride outside in 20-25mph winds on a cold day then most other training rides in the Winter and Spring will seem easy. Not to mention that I know that there are other guys riding outside today and mentally I have to know that I'm keeping pace with them and not just spinning away on the rollers. Tomorrow is supposed to be about 31 degrees with winds of 5-10mph so it will be easy to get out and might even seem warm! I suppose I should include a picture but I have none of me riding today as my wife had the digital camera all day in Chicago, so here is a picture of my racing jersey and helmet.......
