Well, my 4-5 hour training ride today turned into 2 hours on the trainer with some speed work. I guess that’s the way it is when it’s blizzarding outside, as it will be for the next 3 days 
This is a picture of my car outside of the hotel only a few hours after it started snowing. By the time we needed to go to the laundromat it was pretty much burried and very difficult to reach!
Other than the snow we have also found out the Bethel/Danbury/Newtown, CT is the most expensive place ever. Well, maybe not ever, but much worse than Florida. We tried going out to dinner last night and it basically went like this: Arrive at the Japanese place and notice that 1 sushi roll is 13 dollars. Leave. Arrive at the Italian place and see everyone in suits. Leave. Arrive at the pizza place and notice the 18 dollar ravioli dish and 25 dollar brick oven pizzas. Leave. Arrive at the Mexican place and see suits and ties again. Leave. Arrive at the old 50′s diner (burger and fries kinda place) and see the 16 dollar bleach white spaghetti with plain red sauce. Leave. We ended up just shopping at the grocery store and eating turkey sandwhiches back at the hotel. It was pretty sweet. We’ll look for more places tonight but I have a feeling it might end the same way!
We might have many more turkey sandwhich nights because it turns out that the current occupants of our townhouse can’t be out until March 1st. So for now I’m stuck in the Microtel riding my trainer and thinking about the sun. I suppose it could be worse!
