And nearly ate shit once.
The slush held enough shape to wind up 3-4" tall, well affixed to the flat skim ice on the pavement below. More dangerous that that shear glaze i took pictures of before.
I didn't crash, rode the path all the way in.
And here I am.
At least I won't be home alone again tonight to ramble. So there is that.
Get through the day.
More coffee.
Bike was good though, I have been using the backpack and I'm thinking I might haul the trailer if but to just take stuff off my back.
also, i know a few people read this, and Solo ain't the only one who gets this, it is more an observation of the culture of web logs vs FB and other social stuff... Funny how in FB they truncate the initial post if it is long, and if you get a ton of comments you wind up with comments taking over the visual and diminishing the initial appearance of the origin.
I did have an idea... (probably not a very good one though) someone mentioned having a coke as a component of a post ride beverage/recovery intake.
Got me thinking.
Soda is pretty close to the whole Tobacco health analogy. Both are poison. Both have pretty deleterious and costly health implications. But an occasional cigar, or an occasional coke... that's different. Our body can deal with the acute exposure. So you had a cigar as part of a big celebration. So you had a soda last month. But look around, that ain't happening. Soda is ubiquitous. The Diet shit ain't any better, probably worse.
The sugar water corporations have a similar grasp on the world economy to the Tobacco companies in the 80s.
I wonder if we'll see a dynamic shift again.
I'm going to have some black coffee.
A lot of black coffee.
Like a whole fucking pot all to my god damn self.
And work on a few microscopes.

Coke. I don't know how much access the east coast has to it, but the Mexican coke that uses cane sugar instead of corn syrup is worlds better. Still, about the only time I have it is mid-ride and the sometimes tacos lunch.
It isn't the HFCS. It is the volume of sugar, and more specifically the acid (the color and flavor chemical compounds are pretty toxic too).
No acid and soda is too sweet to drink. Our body rejects it as unpalatable. Acid is needed, and wicked bad.
Mexican coke is just as bad for you as Amurican stuff.
But if you're going to have one on a rare occasion it is probably a better choice but in reality it is like choosing between a Filtered Marlboro and a "Light" filtered Marlboro. Still f'n bad for you.
to clarify, yes out stomach is full of acid. HCL specifically. Phosphoric acid is a bit different.
Citric acid in some other stuff is too.
Our body is used to maintaining a pH balance, screw it up esp in the acid side and you have to buffer it, generally that buffering happens with calcium (from the bones).
I never said better for you. It's all garbage, it's just that the Mexican garbage tastes soooo much better. Plus, the cane sugar seems to sit better on my stomach late in a ride than the corn syrup does. Although, when it goes into a water bottle, it gets diluted and let go flat for a bit first.
Oh yeah, if I'm gonna smoke, it's a menthol all the way. Gotta keep those lungs "open" baby.
Menthol? nah
I'll stick to my unfiltered Camels
