November Again...

It's November and just like last year, it's warm and dry.  Perfect for riding the bike, terrible for skiing.  Technically, the resorts aren't scheduled to open until closer to Thanksgiving but if there was snow, they would open early as they have done in past.  We did get about 14" at the resort last week but the storm was quickly followed by warm temps. There isn't much left now.  Halloween was the warmest that I can ever remember.   Still, it could change pretty quick and I'm hoping it does because I miss skiing.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying myself while riding carefree on the bike.  Nothing too intense and the fall colors are still putting on a great show.  I had an Infinite Cycles team meeting last night and it got me to thinking about what my goals will be next year.  I'm hoping that I'll be able to do much of what I did this year, with an emphasis on building up later in the season.  I guess I'll wait to see if I get into Lotoja again before I make too many plans.

Off topic but Halloween was so much fun this year with my wife and kids.  They are at the perfect age, and eat it up.  Yes, my wife too.  She'll always be at the perfect age for any holiday.  We spent all day going to parades and parties at school, followed by marathon trick'o treating at night.

This was, in my opinion, the best house on the block.  You know it's good when the kids are scared to ring the doorbell.  Even for free candy.
