Blowing In The Wind.

My bike faces the large window in my room. The sill on the fixed side of the window holds my TV so I don't have to watch Zwift on my relatively small computer screen. The sill on the opening side holds a fan to hopefully bring cooling air towards me as I ride.
  
You'd think that since I'm on the northwest tip of Alaska, I wouldn't have a problem keeping cool this time of year. In fact, it all depends on which way the wind blows. When the wind is coming from certain directions, all I need is to open the window a crack to stay cool. When the winds are coming from other directions, all of the heat from the building is pushed towards my room, so the fan has little impact. My room heats up. I bake.
  
It's really an issue when I'm sleeping. I like a colder room at night. I can go to sleep all cozy at 55-60F, only to wake up in the middle of the night sweating at 80F because the wind shifted. I can go to sleep with the bare minimum on, only to wake up shivering. Not really much I can do about it. The hot air comes through the door frames and any number of cracks and holes, pushed from one side of the building to the other.
  
Sometime blown snow comes through my cracked window and is picked up by my fan, pelting me in the face as I ride. Makes Zwift a little more realistic, I guess.
  
Even indoors I'm subject to Mother Nature's whims.

A couple years ago I participated in a stage race and had the honor to meet Saul Raisin, the former professional cyclist that suffered a debilitating traumatic brain injury during a race in Europe. As I listened to him speak and later read his book about his recovery, I (probably like most people) had two thoughts:                 “What an inspiring story.” …and more callously,                 “Wow, sucked to be him.” The second thought was just a result of thinking it would never happen to me. If you run the odds, it just doesn’t factor into the threat matrix as prominently as teenage girls with cell phones or that sketchy Cat 5 on the brand-new Madone. Then I got my bell rung. I’ve seen my share of stars and cartoon tweety birds over the years, but this was the first time I was knocked unconscious and woke up in an ER. Another driver’s moment of inattention resulted in a totaled car and weeks of disorientation, speech delays, and random face plants. It didn’t occu

Narrowed Focus

OK, here's the fun part.   You're clinging to the wheel in front of you. Doing everything to stay in contact, because you know in the deepest parts of your soul that if a gap opens, you will never close it, and you will be adrift. That few inches of space is your whole purpose in life.   People wait their whole lives to see the scenery on either side of you, but you're too busy focusing on meaningless points up the road. You're hoping that by acknowledging them that they will somehow help you climb this hill. They don't, because they're inanimate objects like signposts and rocks. Selfish bastards.   You match cadence with the guy in front of you, promising yourself that every time their right foot comes down, your right foot will come down. That you won't stand unless they stand. That you will be every bit as strong as they are, even if you aren't.   The steady ache in your thighs keeps building. You know all you have to do to make it stop is to

Perhaps Where I need to Be.

  The last time I was in Biloxi was in November of 2016. I was recovering from a broken collar bone, but otherwise was relatively fit, lean, and getting fitter and leaner. Because I had nothing else to do and energy to burn, I rode a lot. It was wasted effort that translated into burnout during the trainer season, but I really didn't care. I hadn't been riding at all. A handful of road rides before the season ended. A couple fat bike rides when the trails near my house were packed well. Mostly I've hiked, cross-country skied, and sat on my fat ass. Primarily the latter. I knew I was going to be spending the month of February in Biloxi. I swore I was going to get back on the trainer in preparation, but I never did. I came in cold. I packed all sorts of warmers and raingear and stuff that I have yet to use.I forgot all sorts of tools. My tires were excessively worn and my tubes weren't in great shape either. I ended up buying new ones after a horrible first ride led to 4
