Snow sucks...

Especially snow as deep as your thoughts. Nasty stuff.

You guys crack me up. People from Ohio and Indiana complaining about snow.

We had a warm up two weeks ago (2 days above freezing) and I could actually see concrete on the roads. It made me think that I would soon be riding my summer bike outside rather than on the rollers. Since then we have gotten 2 1/2 feet of new snow, and yes the roads are snow covered once again.

Oh well there is always the winter bike with the Nokian W-240's and the snow has to melt sometime.

we still have 2 feet of snow in the low spots in my front yard, the banks on my road are between 3 and 4 feet tall, even bigger near the road entrance. I'm hoping for an early spring but it doesn't look like it.

minor threat = good; Green Day = bad.

What I've been really thinking about: this.

Okay.... Italian steel, Italian builder, made in America. Is the Italian flag allowed on the frame?

nocondorfx 02-27-09 11:02 PM

no, but i think a custom painted mario and luigi would be awesome

Would that make you more proud of the frame? Then yes.

No. Only this is permitted by the Southside Italian American Image Management Committee of Chicago. Or this.

you may want to check with your local branch. To avoid "problems".

Good stuff for wandering thoughts. I got an email from Active.com with an ad for it. Wow! That looks like an awesome week! It actually may fit into my racing schedule too. To do a rebuild/base week with that kind of volume/intensity just a few weeks before Superweek would be simply awesome. Because I'd use it as a workout I only wonder what kind of recovery I'd need.:o

CrimsonKarter21 02-28-09 11:27 AM

I was just thinking of an American ring and an Italian ring surrounding the panel which contains the name of the bike on the downtube. Hmmm.

Brian416- Nice to see someone else in my neck of the woods posting on BF. Its nice to know who the other tracks in the snow belong to. Here's to hard pack snow or dry pavement!

Tony V 03-03-09 11:25 PM

It's warm and sunny here!

It appears that the BFNWMC is growing. When the snow melts (in June) I will post another ride maybe some hills:D.

The only thing that has helped me is selling my bike...now at least I don't have to look it in the eye everyday.
The search has begun for a new bike, which is also distracting in a good way. Too bad a guy can't even take a test ride yet.

The days are getting longer; the nights, shorter. I think we may have just seen the last of this season's cold fronts. Spring is less than 20 days away!!!!!!!!
