Sunny and 72

5 days til Christmas and its still 72 degrees outside. My little sister is Germany right now, so I'm sure she'll have a white Christmas. Me? I'm not counting on it.

I took my last two tests before Christmas break this morning. I've still got class tomorrow, and then I'll head home for a couple of weeks.

After class was over I went out for an 18 mile ride. I took a pretty hilly route, but it was nice. I'll take my bike home with me, and if the weather stays like this I may get a lot of riding in.

I clicked on the Bike & Build website this afternoon, and my picture popped up in the Rider Spotlight. I thought that was pretty cool.

The warm weather went away, and with the cold came rain. Its been pretty dreary around here the last few days. I think that made Ranger happy though. Now he gets to stay inside more.

I ran the last few days, but have been pretty busy with school stuff for the most part. School is no fun. We're two weeks into a new quarter and I'm already looking forward to the break. I took my hardest test yesterday. I've got 3 more next week, then its Christmas break.

We're going to see "I Am Legend" tonight at midnight. I'm pretty excited about that.

Hopeully I'll be able to bundle up a little and ride on Saturday morning.

I got my bike for the first time in a few weeks today. It was warm but humid, so Joseph, Seth, Casey, and I decided to ride. We left Ruston and headed north towards Downsville at a pretty quick pace. We took it a little slower on the way back, but still made pretty good time. All in all we went about 25 miles. I felt pretty good considering I haven't been on the bike in a while.

When we got done, Joseph set me up on his virtual trainer and had me ride part of a climb in the Alps at a 12% grade. I better do some major climbing work before this summer.

Hopefully we'll keep getting these warm days so I can keep riding.
