(Long Distance) Ramblings

Saturday, December 21, 2002

I have been ill all week with a cold. I even took today off of the saddle and when Christmas shopping instead.

I am planning a long cycling tour in January so I have been riding alot lately. In the cold, in the rain, in the fog it doesn't matter; I have been out on the bike every weekend for the last five. However, I took today off as it was wet outside and I am still coughing and feeling a bit weak.

About my planned tour. Everyone I tell thinks I'm a bit crazy. "The Oregon Coast in January, you're nuts!" I begged to differ. Traffic is down, you don't have to worry about if its going to rain (it will), and I have booked heated yurts! I will have a warm and dry place to sleep every night!
