Slushin"

Just finished my beater 3.0 Cannondale. Took it out! 700x28c tires slicin' through the slush! Gotta stay in the car tracks! Just enough bare road to get going too fast for the conditions! All of a sudden the slush is freezing up! The tires are not slicin' through the slush anymore! Time to head for home! Funny thing is..now I have to ride through the deep snow because everything else is icing up! Freakin' awesome!
This rattle canned, shed picked, SunTour Blaze equipped bike rode great! I can't wait for tommorrow!

Just got back! Faced the 10 to 20 mph wind pretty much all the way! The road were clear, wet in some spots with snow melt, I was able to get sopme real speed up! I hit a couple of beaches and the canal area. still sand covered from the dune damage. All in all a good ride! We have morse snow coming this weekend! Maybe 2" to 4"! I need to make a bunch of adjustments to bike as I did not do them after the first post rebuild rde! See ya on the road!

Snow and sand on the same ride!
You don't get that in my area.

My wife and I visited Old Quebec 4 years ago. The weather was cold, windy, and rainey! We had an absolute blast! We took a carriage ride around the town covered in bear skins and blankets! We might have been his only customers that day! It would not have been a good biking day! See ya!

There hasn't been that many good biking days in the last month or so. Better days are coming.
