Rounder

without comments

Rode a full round-trip today… and it was good.

A number of things drifted through my brainspace as I rode this morning… among them: “Hans Brix!” from Team America; MGMT’s trip-tastic Electric Feel video; and “No! It’s rounder!” from Nike’s The Mission ad from a few years back. Never underestimate the brain’s ability to entertain itself when left to it’s own devices.

It was effin’ cold this morning, as evidenced by some decent cold exposure on my stomach of all places—a wide swath got all nice ‘n red and itchy once I was warmed up and out of the shower. I’ll have to remember that lesson.

The ride home was pretty swanky… enough so that I could stash my jacket and ride with nekkid arms, exposed to the dangers of the world and all(!). Granted, it was in the mid-50’s, but that was balmy compared to the low of 31 from the morning’s ride.

One thing I enjoy about riding solo is being able to stop and take pics whenever the notion strikes.
