I decided last weekend that it was time to come out of my hole, get off the trainer and do my first group ride of the year. Whoa, winter ride shocker.  I think it is time to crawl back in my hole.  It was a small group and they were riding tempo. I, on the other hand was holding steady at my limit.  Those winter trainer rides don't exactly have me prepared for longer (2hr) group rides. Not to mention that my bike is now a mess.

Yes, it is time for me to get back on the trainer for a few more weeks until the roads dry and the sun comes out.  No problem I have several more episodes of "Heros" to watch on Netflix.

Each episode is about 40 minutes which is about two full trainer rides.  That means that I have several more weeks of prime time soaps to keep me busy.  The only drawback is the grief that my wife gives me for watching such a "violent" show first thing in the morning.

She says it is an awful way to start the day. She does not allow the kids down in the basement when it is on. I am O.K. with it. Besides I am dying to know if Claire is going to start dating her roommate or if Hiro is actually going to die before his sister and best friend Ando get married.

If you have already seen these episodes please don't e-mail and tell what happens. I need the suspense to get me through these rides.
