37 degrees outside. Cloudy, with a slight rain. Not ideal for outside activity. Cycling not really an option. Football? Perhaps. But not today. There are approximately 225 hours left in 2007. A year marked by tulmutuous economic performance, political discord, and communistic rumblings. Personally marked, by a uneasy and unfulfilling job. A broken rib, followed by a broken hand. Two moves, one without advanced knowledge, a loss of income, and possibly bankruptcy on the horizon. yet contrasted by a great trip to Switzerland and Germany, and a few other goals achieved.

This years riding was not as much as 2006, but slightly more productive. 20 Less rides, but a higher average speed, with more ascending per ride and overall.

2008 looms. A year that will be piviotable and challenging to say the least. I will look upon 2008 with hope, but with realism as well. Happy New year.
