It's 55° on January 1, 2005, at 12:19 PM.

If I hadn't already looked outside, I'd tell you, "It must be raining." Warm days in the dead of winter always come with rain.

Nope, it's sunny, with clear blue skies and a slight breeze.

I said my new season would start with the new year, but I didn't actually mean "on January 1st!" This is cool!

I'll just do twenty or twenty five miles. Enough to starve off a few fat cells and deliver a nice endorphin hit.

I hope the other cyclists out here on the Right coast (the Steves, Jim, Chris, and Bruce) have a chance to spin out a few miles today. (I know if Steve doesn't go out today he'll probably go a little nuts.)
