The Driving Dilema


Which looks easier to dig out the bike or the car?

Hmmm, looks like a good day to be on a bike. Pugsley riders unite!

Just had to ride today

Well woke up a few times in the night winds were like 60mph woke up to... Lot of snow!

So since I have nothing in my house to eat and the streets are fairly clear I thought i would go for a ride...


Well that kinda Sucked, Rode by Teds on North on way to my friend Nicks 3 blocks west and it was open. But when I got back by there they were closed, The worst part was seeing people still eating and drinking COFFEE.. It smelled awsum.
But the door was locked! I did not look that strange!
So it was a loaf of bread and OJ.. From the gas station. ;( Back about 6 blocks west


So it was about 3 or 4 blocks to Nicks, 2 blocks back to find out Teds was closed then back about 6 blocks to the gas station then back the 6+ blocks home
Did get a lil ride in on this, the snowiest day in many years... Lefty with Conti Studs Worked Awsum!


I know I hate to see all that XTR in the snow but it is flawless....
Cant tell that bike is almost 12 years old...

WOOOOHOOOOOO i rode on the snowiest day of the year...

Blizzard in Milwaukee Wi.


Well I don't think I can ride today even with the Studded tires... There's over 20" of snow now and 50mph winds, If they clear the roads I'll try to ride.... I don't think work will even open, all schools closed and they have called a State of Emergency.
It is 3:30 am and the wind is whipping away and the snow is looking awsum....

News just broke in and poor weather man looks tired!

wow steady wind is 43 MPH and gusts at over 60mph..... WooooHoooooooo

Riding in a Winter Wonderland


I decided today would be a great day to test my winter riding skills and road all eleven miles to work through the snow. This was the view of my street as I started out. On days like today I highly recommend some cross country skying gators to keep the snow out of you shoes. Between pushing my bike over snowbanks and being sprayed by passing traffic I had snow all the way up to my knees and was glad to have them.
