Not cycling day 2: 39 degrees this morning, rain or drizzle, and a cold hard wind all day made my decision for me.
So I drank tea, ate toast, and read:
Cold Granite, by Stuart McBride, a police procedural set in Aberdeen, Scotland. Dreary, appropriately cold and rainy throughout the story.
Hell on Two Wheels, about the 2009 Race Across America, bike endurance race from Santa Monica to Annapolis. Winner finished in 8 days, 6 hours and 1 minute. Scary. Inspiring? Not so much.
Then went to university bookstore for a new book for the road: Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake.
I really enjoyed Oryx and Crake. If you like it, be sure to check out The Year of the Flood, which takes place concurrently and has some of the same characters.
