Saturday was the first snow we've had for 2009 in these parts that amounted to any real accumulation. Actually I was shocked that we had as much as we did - hell this Sunday morning we still have plenty on the ground and on the trees.
So with the Mountaineers playing Rutgers at noon, I couldn't wait to get out and ride and be back in time to open that pilsner and enjoy the game.
Getting ready to ride in cold in-climate weather for the first time is a bitch for me. My organizational skills are pretty pathetic, but when all my cold weather gear - gloves, tights, pullover, etc have all been moved from one box to another over the past year, and then back. With those boxes and bins being moved from this shelf to that shelf.... well one can guess that I don't know where half of my shit is on the spur of the moment.
Put it this way - my bike riding shoes are pretty specialized (actually the ones I'm talking about are Specialized) - not that they're any thing special for bike riding shoes, just that you wouldn't want to use them for anything else other than bike riding. Because I'm the only one that rides a bicycle in this household, that cuts down on their usage all that much more. Well somehow, I can only locate one of these particular shoes. How the hell does that happen?
(probably because I don't put them back where they're supposed to go, although the one I found was in the proper place, it's hard to believe that I would find a need to use just one bike shoe without the other so as to make it possible to leave it not where it belongs)
But the snow is coming down, and game time is approaching.
