I might take another stab at the ride if you do it as we are locked in with a terrible bit of weather, and I feel bad for initiating a bit of a time change yesterday causing Rod to miss out.

I stay indoor today too. Fine weather but still ice on the roads I guess, and I'm not feeling 100%. Easier to jump off the trainer than when 20 miles from home!

@Rod McG you decide when we roll. I'm officially off duty in 15 minutes.

I'll start the warm up in about 25 mins, at 4pm.

See you in the simulator! Not sure I will see (you at) the finish though.

@Duckman and @Randyberlin, how's the snow?

 

[Duckman]

Mine be almost gone due to bomb cyclone moving through with big winds and lots of rain. Supposed to drop 40 degrees F in a few hours as the artic air portion kicks our ass and turns all to a skating rink.

Checked the weather in Sitka earlier today, about 1C and cloudy. Currently -1. The real snow and cold weather happens when it travels across land. That is why it gets cold in the US, as there is a big chunk of land with no water/sea. Sitka is by the sea.

Seen some weather reports showing -24c

Figure Shim, Rod and Co. Will be on the receiving end of this eventually, might be like Fastnet 79' level crazy in the sea by them as we are seeing some super low pressure readings.

Cant afford to put the heating on here so I hope we don't get another cold spell.

We had a cold snap and dropped to 18F but now back to normal. Snow today turning to rain tonight. Because the ocean here is always 50F we have mild winters on our island

I seen a cruise advertised for next June around alaska and it looked great..... Wo ld need to do some serious saving and hope I don't need the heating for 5 years to afford it though!

There is a ferry system with staterooms that is very enjoyable. Much more relaxing. The cafeteria food isn’t bad.
