Joerg Antidote
Sorry, Joerg, I needed a subject and "Ride Report" seemed too grandiose.
First ride of the new year: -5F and breezy, but at least the sun was shining. Went to town, about four miles, for yoga practice, after breaking out the ski bibs and the balaclava. I did wear my Adidas sneakers, on Lou's recommendation, they worked ok but I'm almost resolved to acquire a bicycle that can be comfortably ridden in big rubber boots. Once downtown had an espresso, and a load of pizza. Saw a stylish young woman wearing some kind of clogs without stockings or socks, and another one with a cable knit *backless* sweater. Hmmm. The local UPS dude was wearing shorts, as always, but he did have on serious socks and gloves. The postman was wearing what looked like a USPS-issue snow suit, with red, white, and blue racing stripes. Riding back I took the lane more or less everywhere, as there was little alternative, between big piles of snow, parked cars, and frozen slush on verges. If anyone was annoyed they gave no sign, until I saw a large black pickup with two young Cambodian guys in it behind me, the driver tap, tap, tapping on the horn. WTF? I look over at them, and the passenger says, hey, you dropped something, and he hands me the balaclava, which, having proven a little too much, I had stuffed in my coat pocket. -- |
