Rink is Open!!!! /google calendar / cyclocross

warning: this post is pretty scatterbrained

We all skated on the rink for the first time yesterday! The surface is not very good and we're supposed to get a 1/2 inch ice storm today so i have no idea what that's going to do to the rink but considering the pain with the dog and everthing i'm very thankfull that we can now skate.

About a week ago i discovered google calendar and it's changing my life. I'm in the process of putting my whole training schedule into it. I'm finding it very flexible and great to use. The best thing about it is i can put all the different areas of my life on it's own calendar. Work, family, training, and whatever else i can think up of to fill my days. I can view all or just one at a time. Now if they would just provide a free syncing application like yahoo does i could automaticly import my work calander instead of having to do it the manual way every couple of days.

Cyclocross. I'm now dreaming of getting a cyclocross bike. It's gonna be a single speed and on the cheap but i would like to have that to ride in the winter and do a race or two on. I still am pretty sure i will really suck at cyclocross but it would be fun.

I guess that's it for now.
