I'm sitting here in my bike racing bib. Never rode today. I draw the line @ freezing drizzle. Good grief.

Speaking of songs I got lucky yesterday and was able to snag some Prince tickets for a show in Minneapolis tonight. Sold out in about 5 minutes. It's an open tryout session for Prince's band's new drummer, so no idea what witnessing that is going to be like. Either way its freaking Prince, so it's gonna be awesome.

Just rode by a gaggle of roadies wearing my shorts in 35 F. They were all shaking their heads at my stupidity.
Of course I was hammering away in the 53t so maybe they was skeered.

Haha yeah, it is just going to be a little bit of a jam session and maybe Maroon 5 will show up? Super strict rules though, its nuts. Can't even bring a cell phone into the club. If you get caught with one, you get booted immediately and can't re-enter. Definitely leaving it in the car.

Can you damage a car driving through water?
I came upon this low spot which is now a small pond. There was a sign that said "Road Closed," but some cars ahead of me ignored it. And in a moment of insanity I plunged right through.

Honda Accord. I don't know how deep. It didn't stall out, fortunately. I only continued driving about 2/3 of a mile afterward. Should I run the engine a bit longer?

I thought he meant my Prince of Paramus post.

You're likely ok. (Lucky, but ok.) Cold water + hot engine can get very messy. Especially if water gets sucked into the intake.

It was just a short distance (~5 seconds?), there was no threat of being washed anywhere, but in hindsight may not have been the smartest thing.
I'm such a daredevil.
