lol @ alllll byyy myseeeellff

I met a buddy of mine at Donlands/Danforth and we rode over to Main via side streets, both of us thought each other had taken a photo when that first flash appeared right in front of us... Gotta say, that's the first time I've ever seen a snowstorm with thunder/lightning in my life - and I used to pride myself at looking out of the window.. I just got in after the second rumble and didn't hear more, but there were more apparently.

Sidestreets were tricksy, I kept sinking through the hardpack with the 28c in the back, and it made things very squirrelly but lots of fun - I could've passed as a giddy schoolgirl no problems

I've got to get me some goretex pants and booties, I've got the jacket (albeit camouflage, but whatever) - I split the arse out of my rain pants landing a toboggan off a ski jump and they were only cheapo plastic basic service ones I was issued with (AND camouflage too), heh - people seem to give me odd looks when I'm in the camo stuff, bleh.

Just going to have a bite and then head back out for some snow fun

Sorry to hear about the bike/set-up clown.. hope it shows. I have heard Vesuvio's is good eats, but that's not the point.
