Nikki planted a seed in my mind early in the week: "how about a 4 park ride on the weekend?" Buddy, the master of the 4 and now 6 park rides, agreed to lead. then old man winter kicked in and dropped another 4 inches on us.
Pretty much killed any chance of that ride going down.
A smart man would have just slept in a little longer and headed out on the road, rack up some good base miles and called it a day. No one has ever accused me of being a smart man.

Perhaps better than being a smart man, is being a man with good people around you. Saturday Breyla-la, Auer, Ted Logic and Dennisbike joined me for a fireroad tour of Fairhill. It was tough going as the only place you could cleanly ride was tracks where the trucks had gone. It took a lot of focus and a lot of energy. I can't say it was a lot of fun, but it was good.
Sunday, Jake, Buddy and I were looking for adventure. We knew that a 4 park trail ride would be no good, but we figured we'd roll the dice and see what we end up with. Again, it was a tough ride, one that resulted in a proper afternoon nap. And sort of by accident, a four park ride was still accomplished...

It is much easier to tick off the miles, with smiles with friends. Looking forward to improving conditions and perhaps a chance to get some fun trail rides soon...
still not so sure about these team glasses.
What do you think...
I don't think I'm in love with them.
respect.

not really a fan. more importantly, what does diane think?
Mmmmm... No.
Seems that Tifosi LOVES to throw teams free glasses. The problem is, I've found that 99.9% of their stuff is junk.
I'd gotten some Team Tifosi's from my racing days back in Michigan. Hated every second of 'em. Wore them for one race, then gave them to some random kid in the parking lot.
Yep, pure junk.
Hey, you asked.
Makes you look like a dyspeptic old man. Which is pretty amazing considering the nu skool mod design. But there it is.
Seibold and I worked out a rule on a shop ride last year though. Shades that are atrocious look horrible, and their ugliness is in direct proportion to the rider's distance from the bike. So I'd have to see you moving at speed on the bike to know if those glasses look good or not. I suspect they only look less worse, rather than actually good even then.
