Winter Doldrums It has been a long week in terms of weather. We've had all the major forms of liquid precipitation: the "cats & dogs" stuff, frog chokers, gulley washers, and--just once--il pleut comme vache qui pisse, which really is less common outside the Loire Valley. So, I've been parked inside. Which brings me to wonder, what do you folks do for excercise and fun when its too bad to get outside?
I could hit the gym, play some pick-up b-ball games, or walk between the deluges on my lunch break (which I often do anyway). None of those are really me, however. So, I'd appreciate your tips!
If you find some sunny days, send them my way...8 days off the bike is way too long!
