Today marked my first sneaux ride of the season, during a 4 inch fall
and ~22F temps. Nice ride, but i had to take my 20 out.
I've been off the uni a month or so and just could not get my muni
going in the snow, so rather than practice sucking with the sun
setting, i grabbed the li'l sun.
I pulled about 4 miles along the Fox River Trail round trip from St.
Chas towards Batavia. It was surprisingly easy, and all who saw me were
entirely too misimpressed with my mad skillz.
I have a new line to use in the winter: "Now you've seen everything!"
The chicks dig it. :-)
I also verified a Natural Law: All protective equipment will be at an
alternate starting point. (work, in this case). Of course, we all know
the other law: the gear you don't have is the gear you need...
...and thus picked up a nice phat strawberry on my knee when I UPD'd
just north of downtown Geneva on the sidewalk along Rt. 25. I was
showing off to all the cars waiting for the light, making Jeanie arms
while jetting through a narrow patch of virgin snow when i found a big
sidewalk seam. WHAM. But I walked it off and rode on home.
If only i had a camera... maybe i'll take a knee-blotting for a
commerative souvineer.
The other fun thing was the cyclist who wanted to take my picture. My
wobble marks had been vexing him for a couple of miles...
On a scale of 1 (bad) -->10 (good) i give today an 8. -1.5 for
flobbing the muni, -.25 for forgetting my blinkie clown nose and -.25
for not bleeding more.
Not too bad.
