Dudda dudda dude look like a lady!

The plan- hit Theo after work today. So late afternoon call home to give status then hit it. Upon approach, up ahead, biker dude was coming out of Theo trailhead.... Then I hear, "HEY!", lo & behold it's my lady. That's right, Amy was at Theo on her own doing laps!! Right on. We laughed, it was funny cause we we're both busted. First the lady goes for clipless and now this. Whoa, sweet.

Inevitable Winter Armour Gain Ahead?

Strange Pre-Winter City Ride

Last week Paul & I rode the tracks torward Wayzata 2hrs on MTB. Anyway, we got pulled over. Yep, 7:00am, lights, horns, squad car pulled us over to explain what RR company liability & treaspassing means. Later on ride we saw a leprechan/pilgrim playing catch with a steel cylinder while walking the tracks. Not kidding. Today, 1.5hr of greenway, lakes etc ride. The following was seen from my bike: #1. Moses walking bare foot on greenway, seriously, 45 degrees, strolling sober bare feet. #2. A lady suffering on bike w/too much make-up. She looked like Howdy Duty! #3 Dude biking w/basket, parka, horn & many goodies abound. I call him, Happy Jaack, he hells out, "nice bike" in response to my rusty green bianchi. I'm not making this up. It must be related to Winter on the horizon, peeps showing awkward transition. I know I've been qwaagulated latley. About winter & being weird..... I'll holding off building my geary 29'er (may go just SS, bag gears all together)......I neeeed a pugsley. Anyone else? We'll see how much my Scalpel 26'er goes for on e-bay. Chill.
