Thanks. On Monday I was touring a portfolio of apartment buildings in Red Deer. It was -52 degrees...
Hey Geoff - shhhhh! Your going to give Canada a bad name. Same day (last Monday) did 4 hours on my new O2 VAM. Warm and sunny eh.

They all know. It is -11 today and it feels like summer. I didn't even wear a coat to the office. I am going to try to do intervals outside!

Ironic in that is just about how most of southern Texas looked on Monday morning.

@Kingtom Those roads look familiar once again :) One of the pictures is on the rotberg climb from from Hotwil, isn't it?

I rode from zurich to St. Gallen on saturday and sunday. It was the first time for me in the Appenzell region and also the first time up Schwägalp. It was just beatiful and the decend is really nice, too

At last it's thawing outside. Roads should be ridable on a roadbike in a couple of days.
Here's a throwback to one of my favourite climbs: The eastern side of Col de Cayolle, looking back down a couple of km from the top. The view you get when you come out of the tunnel in the middle of the pic is breathtaking.

And thanks to HammerTime2 for the heads-up on a bad link.

Schwägalp is great. Awesome views to the Säntis. I wasn't that far away from today. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Top marks if anyone can recognise the airport, the air traffic control tower might give it away.
