Floatsome
Date: Jan 19 Fri
Mileage: 24 (LHT)
January mileage: 214
Year to date: 214
A slightly longer commute today helped my the mildish temps (39F), and more importantly, sunny conditions after work. I meandered down toward the river, along River Rd. and Cox's park, through Indian Hills and home. With an advantageous tailwind along the table-top flat RR, I was able to finally pedal the "Hog" faster than 15mph (well, for a little while). Nothing more special to report, but I finally took a few pics on my own ride. Unlike the more manly northern bloggers, I prefer to not take off all my gloves and crap and take pics in the cold. Yes, I am a pussy.
The river is up. This dude in his overcoat happened to be in the frame. Up above his head in the distance is a condo building up River Rd. In this it might as well be a raft or boat in this pic. Just north of Louisville there is substantial flooding, but fortunately, I live 6-7 miles from the river.
Floatsome. Don't you just love the foam? What IS the foam?
The "Hog" in all its glory. I really like the Nashbar panniers. I like the Brooks B-17, increasingly w/out cycling shorts. I like the 'Stache bars for commuting. I like the SON hub and B&M light. I like riding through crap on the big-ass Serfas. I do NOT like traveling @ 12mph, but that seems to be my winter speed this year. It is what it is.
