That Deadly Sin

\"thatOh, that deadly sin of sloth! Looking at the forecast for tomorrow makes me feel like this kitty here. I just want to lounge around and do nothing; and also stay in and stay warm!

It\’s expected to be a chilly 49 degrees tomorrow morning; and the wind will be as strong as 20 mph!

I know I need the exercise; but at the moment merely thinking of being out in the cold and wind is almost too much. I know it will make my nose run like crazy. That, in turn, makes on-bike eating harder; because it\’s hard to breathe through my nose and chew at the same time.

At least I can be glad I\’m not out there riding right now. It just began to rain; and for the last hour or so the wind has been strengthening. It also seems to be getting cooler. It had been getting almost too warm for January, so I suppose we\’re paying for it now.

So do I go out for my long ride tomorrow, or not? Fight the wind out there; or be lazy and stay home? They say, if you\’re not sure you want to ride, get ready to ride anyhow. Then, if you find that you really can\’t bear the thought of riding, take the day off. Otherwise, ride on; and eschew that deadly sin of sloth!
