Sunday crud
first, this is the first post since last Monday, which as usual implies that i did ride much this week. a ver, monday p.m. big meal/wine, tuesday hangover, wednesday storms, thursday lazy. all of which brings me to friday.
nothing special a.m., though i left a little late. really, the news was a low of 24 going to school. for these temps, i wore the following:
shorts/lightweight tights/fluffy pants (damn, what's that stuff called?? soft pile stuff? ubiquitous?)
fuzzy (too small) base layer/2nd base layer/tshirt/heavy weight REI jacket
lightweight sox/neoprene windproof sox/toe covers
balaclava/Nike heavy gloves
I was pretty bundled, but expected some mid 40s temps, so i tried to do the layering thing instead of bringing out the big coat etc.
afternoon was payday, so a side trip to the Granville, for beer and burgers. a funny anecdote after the beer trip. 'sheryl''s helmet had fallen to the ground so i bent over to pick it up. while over, her bike fell, with the end of the handlebar hitting me square in the forehead. i now have an attractive red mark as a memory.
home was mid 40s, so i had the fuzzy pants, one baselayer, the jacket, and lighter neoprene gloves, along with some wool sox that i had brought.
total for the day was a decent 16 or so miles
16m/6 a.m./10 p.m./24temp a.m./45 temp p.m.
Friday evening we were treated to a rousing performance of Beethoven's 7th directed by one of the orchestra's guest/try-out conductors. i felt that the performance was passionate and very engaging. i enjoyed it thoroughly and hope this guy gets a 2nd look.
further frivolity included cards with P in Lex, beer, doritos, brownies, and chick/dressing. a weekend of friends, food, and fun.
and now some week miles to ward off the holidays to come
