"If you end a ride in the rain you're tough. If you leave for a ride in the rain, you're stupid"

Guess which one I did today? It wasn't exactly raining, more like sleeting, just straddling that o degree mark that makes all the difference. I've rarely been colder or more sketched out on a bike, coming around one corner off a main road onto a side street both Hazzard and I bailed on the glare ice covered road. At least we were going slow and the ice decreased fiction to a minimum, limiting the damge to just our pride. Pretty soon after that we decided to call it a day and head home after seeing a couple cars facing the wrong way in the ditch. Still frozen to the core and trying to study in the fetal position to retain body heat.

One exam is done, three to go and I've been deep in my study-hovel pounding out the hours. Pounding out the hours in training too, just gettin'r done. One other strange observation...by this day last year I had been home for two days already, this year I have over a week to go and three exams left!! Crazy.
