A weekend of firsts
After two days off, spin class at the J with Fanny and Margie
I did two things I never thought I would do this weekend. On Saturday, with the snow making it impossible to drive, never mind ride, I fixed the front derailleur cable on my red Allez all by myself. The proof will be when I can finally take the thing for a ride, and I shift up into the big ring for the first time.
Today, I signed up for the Triathlon at the North Shore Jewish Community Center. It's a 250-yard swim, three loops of Marblehead Neck, and a 5K run. Oy vey. I don't do triathlons, but I guess I will be doing one now. It's May 14, which is Mother's Day. Sign ups for members are ongoing, and general registration opens up on Jan. 25. Cost is $75. Last year, I volunteered with my daughter and had a blast. This year, I'll be the one who gets blasted.
Another impossible task. Now I have two weeks to grow a mustache. Go Patriots!
PS I just read that one of those with MS who rode really strongly in Banff last summer has decided to drop out of this year's ride. I'm really sad Mary will not be with us. She's going through some life changing stuff, so hopefully she'll get things sorted out and be back in the saddle for MS Global 2013. God speed, Mary.
