I had given thought to going for a ride this morning. In order to go for a ride in the mornings, I must be gone by 0515, 0530 at the latest. This means I'm back by 0630 and can generally rush through my morning routine in order to get to work on time.

The problem with early morning rides in the winter is, funnily enough, that it's bloody cold. I try to get around this by preparing my gear the night before, so that the only thing I need to do is stand in front of the heater, disrobe, dress myself, and GO! But when it is so cold that even in bed, under the covers, complete with warmth-radiating bed partner, tracky dacks, jumper, shirt, shorts and socks.. even with all of that, you're STILL COLD... going for a bike ride is out of the question. Instead, I've added yet another useless post to my blog, and have used 159 words and two paragraphs to say what could just as easily have been said by writing "It's too cold to ride". But where's the fun in brevity?

Oh, and I'm back to my pre-Sydney weight. Very happy about that.
