We have the equivalent of a heat wave around here. Mid 30's tomorrow.
I have a small problem with the by-product of my thermoregulation system at spin class. In the last third of the class when my sweat output is at the streaming level, and we're standing up a lot and my bent torso is leaning forward, droplets from my face will fall on the front wheel. After a while, this extra moisture destroys any consistent tension on the wheel and you have to keep cranking more stress on the tension knob to minimize this slippage. More analysis to follow.
For the cycling fans out there (that's you, Revkev), the Tour Down Under started yesterday in Australia. Lance is there with the Astana Team. Astana is sponsored by state-owned companies in Kazakhstan. In reality, the team is the operating remnants of the US Postal/Discovery teams, including the same manager.
Spinning in the AM. Dinner in the PM with 4 in IC.
I read a story today about the betting line in Las Vegas on the Super Bowl. The line has Pittsburgh favored by 7 points. The gist of the story was that the Super Bowl line often doesn't reflect a true evaluation of a professional odds-maker's difference between teams because of the volume of bets places by the general public on the game. The casinos need to protect themselves from losing too much in a mismatch, and there's some sentiment that the Steelers might win big time.
What happened to January? I'm thinking that my two-week birthday extravaganza had something to do with it for me.
Quiet out there.

do you wear your bandana or hat when you bike? that will ease up on the sweat droppings. it made a huge difference for matt running. he was sweating so much his shoes were getting sopped with water. the hat sops up a lot of the sweat and has eliminated the problem!
p.s. please don't get a retro 80's sweatband.
