Oh, Sunday, why do you have to be so short?

Got a nice little ride in today, maybe 2 hours. I got a little bit of a late start and had a lot to do this afternoon, so I just rode around the outskirts of Davis. I’m doing well with the pedals, just having a little trouble clipping back in now and then, but I’m getting it.

It was a lovely day, a little chilly and breezy, but it sure felt nice to be outside and on my pretty Colnago! The Napa Valley Tour de Cure is now less than 5 months away. I really need to get serious about some training.

This should fuel us for a ride today!

A hot, steamy bowl of old fashioned rolled oats with walnuts, dried cherries, and a drizzle of honey. I like oats cooked just about any way, but I prefer to cook old fashioned oats by starting them in the room temperature water. This makes for a creamier oatmeal than boiling the water first.

Today I’m trying out my new pedals I got for Christmas, and a brand new saddle, on my lovely new Colnago. It is gorgeous outside, but really chilly in Davis this morning, so we’re going to wait a bit until it warms up.

This is a great excuse to hit the Davis Farmers’ Market first! Have you been yet? Check it out:  http://www.davisfarmersmarket.org/
