Ready to go...

Got some great snow over the weekend......It snowed Saturday morning, then stopped, and then warmed up a little..

This allowed us to head out and hit the slopes of Ridgewood with our "SnowNuts" (Tubes for Sledging on)...

Toby was, as expected, fearless...Izzy too....

New Rules....

There are some new rules in the house....and they look pretty strict.....

Certain parts of the house are for certain VIP's only. Some people are specifically barred....

So "Be Warned !"

Its a little chilly this morning !

We've enjoyed some strange, but welcome, warmer weather so far this winter. Not too cold, no snow yet. Typical, as Father Christmas left the children two great new sledges. The way things have been going, we'll probably be riding on those in April, when the freak snow storm comes.......

This morning was a bit more typical of what to expect in January.....

Dinner Plans

In LA for a couple of nights on business. Heading 6.3 miles, 12 minutes for something to eat.... A Hughes recommendation. Normally pretty successful.

Twenty 20 ( temp and wind speed )

Hi ho, hi ho, it's back to work I go..... And back on the bike. Cold going in. Freezing coming home. A long dark slog, 20 degrees F.

Oh and a 20 mile an hour head wind. Must be Crazy. But strangely satisfying. In my mind that qualifies for double training miles.

The image is for motivation.....DeeDee and BeeBee have been with us for new year, and we see them next in February for Toby's birthday. All heading to Florida for some sunshine. I remember it well from last year. By mid February it a welcome change from the 20 F temps in the NthEast
