So central North Carolina got its annual one snowfall this weekend to the tune of about 6 inches here at the Keefers' abode. Last year, we got a similar amount just a few weeks earlier in January. Being born in Pennsylvania and growing up in the early teens in Baltimore, it's still funny to see [...]

Every web-surfing cyclist should already have BikeHugger bookmarked or follow their RSS feed, but for those of you who don't, or just haven't frequented the site today. Here's a post about hot weather riding, which a ton of cyclists can take advantage this time of year — even Oregon and Washington state with their recent [...] It's a North Carolina tradition around this time of the year – the nasty dusty coating of yellow pollen. It gets anywhere and everywhere. Cars magically have a duller and different tint to them this time of year. Even during the Tri-Cyclists training ride yesterday, my Garmin GPS even had yellow particles building on it. We [...] So on the heels of last night's wining regarding my current cycling struggles, I was in the gym first thing this morning doing hugh reps, low weight to tone muscle mass and work more on endurance. Unfortunately, an after work ride was hindered by more rainfall. I was on the trainer instead. Bleh! I'm not [...] I really don't know if it's just because we already have sprung forward, if it's the indecisive weather patterns or just being completely swamped at work, but here it is 8:45pm and I'm completely exhausted. I doubt it's the time change. Usually, after the springing forward, the later sunset is a bit energizing to me. Plus, [...] With the early time change less than a week away, it was a little strange to see snow in the forecast early here in March. Such is the weather in central North Carolina. Throughout Fall, Winter and Spring, it's not uncommon to see temperature fluctuations day to day and week to week. Several years, I've [...] So it's been a crazy 24 hours here. It all started last night, taking the mother in-law out for her birthday to the locally well-known, Angus Barn, for a good and over-filling dinner. Everything was delicious and we got to tour their large wine cellar afterward. The real shocker of the night though came when we [...] One thing I love about North Carolina, and hate at the same time are the wishy washy season transitions. A few short weeks ago, the beginning of a group ride I did in downtown Durham left us all frozen on the downtown ups and downs. Granted, by the end of the ride, we had all [...] So we've got a little bit of weather headed our way. Rains started early this afternoon, but the severest will happen over night and tomorrow morning. I don't think it will get too bad in our area, though there are flash flood warnings. Through tomorrow afternoon we could see up to 5 inches of rain. That's [...] It's been really wonderful that central North Carolina (along with a lot of other areas) has been getting rain pretty steadily for the last couple days, and it looks like we're going to get it possibly all the way through the weekend. It's great for the state in a year where we've been fighting drought [...] |
