The annual fade

Now the sky is gray and the wind has a bite to it. Now this looks and feels more like the November I know. Now it's just about time to make the annual bike switch as I make the annual fade from cycling in November.

The bikes are still at the ready, because up until Thanksgiving I believe there might still be a chance of me jumping on one of them for a little exercise out there despite the cold I hate so much.

But as the old song goes, the thrill is gone.

At some point I'll have all my bikes lined up on stands in my basement, just standing at attention alone for a few months down there.

Between Thanksgiving and New Years I do not do anything related to cycling, and I eat what I want. I enjoy the holidays, and then afterward get very bored with the months of January, February and March.

After the new year arrives I will set up the Klein on my trainer and begin to once again think about cycling and losing some weight and getting in shape for spring riding.

But as of right now I still may have a few more miles in these legs in 2010. We shall see.

As we get closer to the end of the year I will be posting my annual top five rides story, when I look back and rank the five most-memorable rides of 2010.
