Numbness downstairs?

Yeah, not quite. My right arm gets tingley and goes numb. And I get some pain in my right knee on longer rides.

 

[Velo Vol]

It could be worse. Say no to mountain biking. Ouch.

No one cares about cycling anymore.

This sounds messed up.

Got caught in a blizzard on my cyclocross bike. Feels great passing cars instead of them passing me.

 

[Velo Vol]

Got snowed and sleeted on this afternoon. Does that count?

I did not pass any cars.

The universe hates me.

The universe hates me.

Yeah... it's 5° here.

 

[Velo Vol]

A good reason not to be there.

 

[VOLatile]

I need to run errands all day tomorrow and it's going to be below 0° all day. Guess I should at least pray for no wind.

 

[VOLatile]

I need a new saddle on my road bike. I don't care how light this one is, my taint is in pain after an hour on the trainer.

That's crazy. Riding in the 20s is cold. I was well on my way toward numb after only 10 miles last evening.

I didn't do anything yesterday. -31° w windchill.

I saw three other cyclists today, which is more than I saw all week. #PolarVortexCycling

Did 37 miles yesterday, in shorts!

Sadly, Polar Vortex 3.0 arrives today.

I ran stairs yesterday with 60 other people in shorts. It's -2° out today, -31° windchill.

With that said, my calves are on fire today.

 

[Velo Vol]

I bet my ride was more enjoyable.

My calves feel fine today.

I actually had a ton of fun and will be going back next Sunday to do it again. I won't be doing yoga with them, though. My knees can't handle that. I love the feeling I have in my legs today.

And today. Still snow on the secondary roads. It's not supposed to reach 32F today, either.

Got yelled at for stopping at a stop sign last night.

 

[VOLatile]

I'm thinking of doing Off-Road Assault on Mt Mitchell this year. Anyone heard anything about it?

Why bother?

I know it's bad enough climbing it on the road.

Got 500 miles in January, which, given the kind of January it was, isn't bad.

One ice crash.

 

[volfanbill]

got 12 mountain bike miles in yesterday. It was super muddy and I was digging through the mud in several spots. Glad the weather finally cooperated! Really need a road bike though. Anyone want to donate one to me?
