Suffer, suffer, suffer. Seems my entire bike season is filled with humiliation. <br /><br />Sounds like we'd make good ski partners though! <br /><br />Good post Matt.<br /><br />cheersthe original big ringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865105701772620245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001519296846134184.post-54041587828089382662011-01-17T19:12:48.651-05:002011-01-17T19:12:48.651-05:00Thanks for the comments guys.

We can get used to pretty much anything.<br /><br />Good to hear you are getting out Sean. I'll keep an eye for Eurosports jackets next time I'm out there. We spied a few fellow cyclists out there, always a welcome sight.Matt Surchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244780566118768642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001519296846134184.post-31106847643846518532011-01-17T15:44:32.288-05:002011-01-17T15:44:32.288-05:00Nice post Matt.

Nice to hear you sound like me on skate skis. ;-) And it is true about the change in perspective, always good for humility, I prefer my humbling experiences to be a tad warmer. :-)David Bilenkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426605459639882801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001519296846134184.post-79992607026348470832011-01-17T15:06:51.886-05:002011-01-17T15:06:51.886-05:00a map of a good winter biking route:

And I was wrongly waxed (blue) so I might as well have spray glued sand to the bottoms of my skis. Hell, I had to pole to move downhill, in the tracks...but man is it great to be in the Gats in the winter.Bigger Dummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237669838981916701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001519296846134184.post-60724927707269666662011-01-17T11:22:23.448-05:002011-01-17T11:22:23.448-05:00I suck at skiing and skating.

I hate driving to bike. <br /><br />but, there are some good times to be had out in the country roads in wakefield. <br /><br />just another 1.5 months to go though, I hope. <br />The previous years, yah can get biking in up in the gats come the 2nd week in March.<br /><br />for now, I'm jogging. The gf is doing a 1/2 marathon in Feb. So, I'll latch onto that. Its dirt cheap to jog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001519296846134184.post-22806644079105220812011-01-17T11:11:24.376-05:002011-01-17T11:11:24.376-05:00nice post Matt!

Struggling with something is a great way to build empathy and recognize your own achievements. <br /><br />I do have to disagree with one point though. XC Skiing is clearly for insane people and should barely be considered a sport. More like a bizarre form of Scandinavian hip torture.Steve Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665409082701509888noreply@blogger.com
