Southern California is freezing, literally! Up here on the mountain, it has not topped 38 all week. Most mornings, it's in the low 20's. Right now, at 2:30pm, it's 29.

Went down the hill yesterday and rode the Lytle Creek climb with a team mate. It was 50 when we started with a head wind. On the way down, the marine layer rolled in to drop the temps more. Finished strong, but chilled to the bone. A nice chile relleno dinner at the end made up for it.

We had our 1st Team DARE meeting last night. Real sharp group of riders. Several Cat 1's and 2's, and a lot of young Cat 3's. The law enforcment roster is at 10 officers from San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles Counties. Got into the raffle and picked up a Profile Designs base bar, aero bar, and stem; about $200.00 worth of schwag.

Gotta start picking it up next week! TT on the 11th of Feb and 1st crit of the season on the 25th of Feb.

 BY THE WAY, ANYBODY READ THIS STUFF?
