He's been that way for 11 years.

We don't know what happened to him ever since Nam.

This happened today a few blocks from my old place, picture isn't me but whoa. Its been less than 10 degrees all day. This is the Hennepin Ave bridge in Minneapolis. A 36" water main broke and flooded the area. Almost the whole downtown area's water is shut off.

I wish I had brought food along. I had to stop a couple times after like 70 miles because I was so hungry. I finally found a convenience store at 77ish miles, and got a snickers bar and a kit kat. I also should have worn a jacket.

And a little more cold weather gear. I can't feel my hands or feet right now because of the cold. I'm also shivering uncontrollably right now. No bueno.
OH. And I have tan lines from my bibs now

Today, I rode to work. It was cold out and my studded tires did their thing well.

What is the singlespeed cross bike Christian has? That thing is rad. I thought it was a Raleigh, but I can't find it on their website. Which of the B'More crew are you, by the way? I work at Gator.

I'm no stranger to weird ass tan lines. I had a super bad sunglasses tan that changed into a hat tan, with a bad bro tank tan and sock tan that are still here from Aug 11th.

And my speedo tan from last may is still here.
