The local cold snap continued for a second day with at least another two days before we crack the freezing mark again. I've got no real desire to ride when temperatures are in the teens.

Did an hour and a half on the trainer today. After a 15 minute warmup, I did a couple 5 minute intervals, then a 10 minute and then concluded the interval work with five 1 minute intervals. The remaining half hour was spent riding at tempo.

News Item of the Day: After the news that the organisers of Paris-Roubaix had removed the famous Arenberg Forest cobbled section from the classic, it appears that the Wallers section that often follows it has also been taken out. The 1,000m mud and rubbish covered sector is not part of the 2005 route, much to the disappointment of the locals, who came out in force to watch the race pass by.

Viewpoint: I'm glad Lance hadn't put Paris-Roubaix on his early season schedule. All the Lance haters on the message boards would be claiming some conspiracy to give Lance a shot at winning.
