I was looking at my calendar and scheduling some events for February when I realized that my penultimate ultra-century ride (136 miles, if you must know) is set for Saturday February 14, a.k.a., Valentine’s Day.  OF COURSE it would be.  While this fact will probably make my SAT jump for joy (“oh yay!!!!  I get to ride my bike with my sweetie on Valentine’s Day!!!!  We get to do a long, long, long bike ride!!!!), that same fact makes me cringe inside (“how typical that something that will hurt me mentally and physically occurs on the day that most normal people celebrate love”).  I am so grateful that February is a short month and that it is NOT a leap year this year.
