Very cold tonight and I didn’t feel like going out and sprinting and getting torn calf muscles and catching a cold etc. Yet, I got my gear ready, saddled up and TREKked out into the darkness. Nobody there, so I did a lap warm up, and still nobody there. Did another lap thinking that maybe they called it off tonight. If everybody was feeling like me, I wasn’t going to be surprised if they all stayed home and kept warm. Coming back to the start there was a flashing light and somebody there. I really have to learn these guys names. Anyway, the guy who lives down the river 35km away told me that everybody was feeling a bit too tired and called it off tonight. He was going to ride 100km by himself in the dark on the river. I decided to keep doing my warm up laps till I got warm and 25km later I was home too, typing this sad story.

Have a bit of a cold coming on myself, so just as well.
