more snow

damn - this shit is hard to ride in. The roads are pretty clear though. Might be time to just suck it up and avoid the bike path for a while. Too many walkers. Snow packed and sucky to ride the cross bike on. Sort of like trying to ride the sand in a cross race after a herd of jackasses ran it and packed funky foot prints in. Tough. Then I tried the no hill alternate way around, ya know so I wouldn't have to ride in the plow spray up top along the parkway. Got to about the Fence guarding nothing and wtf. There's a fahking excavator working on my path. Shoot. Granted it smells like some wicked nasty chemical spill (or just fuel oil or something) and it appears they are trying to clean up on the top side of the place, but well. Turn around and head back to the parkway. Got to the same spot up top and I bailed for the road. went from overheating in the little ring in the 25 in back to freezing my face off in the big ring. Amazing what a handful of MPH do to your wind chill factor.

Gonna try the mt bike maybe tomorrow. If it ain't any good, I think it might be time to start carpooling or something like that. All the rest of the hard core bike commuters have bailed for the bus this year it seems. Usually there is at least one or two other co-workers who will ride year round and not let this dissuade them.

Time to go play in the snow downtown. Well ride down to the other facility and work on an install. Excitement.

You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
