COLD!!!

So the baseball game was cold.  And also, they lost.  How do you sweep Detroit (pretty good team) and then immediately turn around and lose to Baltimore (pretty bad team)?!  The new stadium is really nice though, and the food we had was good.  By the end of the game we were both pretty cold.  But we stayed dry 'cause our seats were under an overhang, so that was nice. 
Tomorrow's ride will probably be pretty cold too.  It looks like it won't get all the way to 50 degrees until after we are done.  I am trying to work out how much to bundle up while riding.  Shedding layers would be a little tricky, so I am thinking zip up sweatshirt over a long-sleeve tee.  That way I can unzip and roll up my sleeves if I actually warm up.  I should also find some sort of gloves to wear.  Regular cycling gloves won't work because it's my fingers I'm worried about.  I'm sure it will all work out fine.  I'll let you know.

So much going on!

Hi there!  I figured I should post since Claudia was so kind as to link to my little blog.  (Thanks Claudia!)  So the big news is that I am doing the Bike MS Twin Cities ride on SATURDAY (yes the day after tomorrow)  I will be doing the 60 mile route, and hoping not to freeze to death along the way (the high is forcast for 57 degrees.  Farenheit.)  If you would like to donate, you can do that here.  I reached my original goal of $300, so decided to set a new one of $500 and see what happens.  It's for a really good cause after all. 
In knitting news, I have finished my very first pair of Rockin' Socks (from the Rockin' Sock club) and started on the second pair.  I plan on working on them at the Twins game tonight.  This will be my first game since 1988 I think.  I am super excited to see the new stadium, and a cold night game seems oddly appropriate for my first outdoor baseball game.
