today it was snowing. any lovely milwaukee residents know this. One of god's laws are: though must ride their bike in the snow beacuse training indoors while watching the Tour of California is ghey as this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyqUj3PGHv4 . So instead of ridding the lame ass trainer I rode outside today.
It was cold and windy, but that din't stop me from flying past those dumb ass gas guzzling 2 ton machines with my whopping 58.8 gear inches. After making my way to the Oak Leaf Trail, I realized that goggles would have been a much better choice than glasses.
I decided to venture onto the MKE river trails only to find that the thaw last week created a gnarly sheet of ice on all of the previously glorious trails. Getting down to the river was easy with only a few spills (just 18), but getting back up to the Oak Leaf was a different story. Hiking out was my only option. I found that hiking with mtb cleats results in a sphere of snow building up around the cleat, resulting in a terrible sensation of walking in roadie shoes. Just the thaught of being in full on roadie gear with all that nasty ass spandex disgusts me. Anyhoooo, I continued back to the OLT and ventured back to somewhere around Farwell where i decided to give up on the deep deep powder and join the 2 ton gas guzzling machines once again.
I made my way past Cranks Daddies (my favorite yuppie ass bike shop) only to find that my brakes were so full of snow that i couldnt stop. Luckally I have some hipster in me and I was ridding a very lovely fixed gear bicycle.
Another 25 minutes and I had made it back safely to my humble abode. I'd say i had done much better than the cars that were being rescued by mutiple sirens heard on Wisconsin Ave and Broadway.
