Well, the snow arrived yesterday. I had been getting ready for this since before our move north. It was nice to throw on the Garneau winter shoes TLYMTB had sold me and head out for a cold wet ride yesterday down at Rayburn. The trails there vary from typical NE rocky twisty stuff to power line cruises to old roadbeds. This was my 4th trip there and every time I find something new. This time I finally found the old burned down mansion I'd heard about. Looking at the map, it looks like there's still a couple hundred acres left to explore. And the nice thing is that this is just six miles from home - easy riding distance when I have the time.
When I got home, I spent some time mounting the winter tires for on the commuter. And pulled out my new winter helmet. Bring it on Massholes!
The Helmet rules... oh wait thats not you..youre not that guy. OK the next one is youre new helmet ... I gotcha. The egg head helmet would have been the jam in combination with the snow tires from hell. Blah blah blah....one beer makes me silly.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much what I look like when I put on the new helmet though. Looks like I have a bowling ball on my pinhead. But that's OK - kept me warm the morning.
ReplyDeletesweet I love the tires! i think you need a hair helmet a la flight of the conchords!
ReplyDeleteDude we miss you! You're making my fair weather rider ass feel bad for not wanting to man up and ride in clear dry 28 degrees to work today... The shoes are MONEY! Love mine!
