when i left.
tried the bike path for about 400 yards. Worse than yesterday. Riding at a walking pace can be fun sometimes but today, at that point I looked up the path. Covered in snow and foot prints. The only bike tracks were mine from yesterday on the way in (got a ride home after a trip to a grocery). I headed on the road. The roads were fine yesterday too. Actually better yesterday. There wasn't any ice yesterday. Just wet salty slush. Today there were some solid frozen sections of ice, esp over the Henderson bridge shoulder. But I did the whole road surface street ride. Which sucks going up 103 with the traffic. No shoulder double stop and go traffic, unplowed sidewalk narrow two lanes, with a clear road there is sometimes space to slip by the stopped traffic. Today, not so much. So i patiently waited and rode through the traffic until the parkway with the nice shoulder. Felt good to be riding. Popped on my HH mittens. Bare hands inside and a thin nylon shell with some fleece in there and my hands were oh so amazingly toasty. Dug out a balaclava today as well. I've had enough wind burnt cheeks for a while.
Still riding the rear wheel with a blown out spoke. Rim totally blown. Cracked right open. But well, it is still working and until i get a new rim, it will continue to work.
Oh. Anyone want to buy a '93 850 sedan? It works. Still goes fast. Showing some age. Ain't perfect but passed inspection.

Riding a bike this time of year, in these conditions is irresponsible, unsafe, idiotic.

it's from some online cross zine, guy did a whole muppets thing where he photoshopped muppet heads on people racing cross - I saw it a couple years back. I seem to remember he put Beaker's head on Barry Wicks. Can't remember the site now
