I forgot that I really enjoy the challenge of riding my slick tires in crappy weather. Last year I made it just fine with 28C tires. Now I have some 32C slicks from Bontrager and I had no issues. The northern part of the Keystone trail was mostly snow with rough spots from walker/joggers and a few bike tracks. I just muscled through and kept on rolling. A couple of dips going under the bridges had my front wheel sliding slightly sideways, but the clear cement underneath was a nice respite.
Now that I remember how easy it is to ride in this stuff, I really have no excuse not to ride more. Oh, and Fred, I so super sorry I bailed on yesterdays ride. I hope you had fun laying down those first tracks on the Keystone.

That was me who yelled at you guys at Pacific/Elmwood park. I picked you (Munson) out from a quarter mile out. Katherine asked how I knew it was you from so far away. I told her that it was your signature ice cream bucket on the handlebars that gave you away. Not kidding.
How else am I going to stay fueled to keep up with you and Bryan? Ice Cream, Baby!!
Bob and I realized who you were after we had each turned our separate ways. Sorry bout that. Maybe next weekend we can see each other while riding in the same direction?
dude ... photo credit. stat.
kidding.
Oh yeah, that was you huh?
How would I go about that? Should I re-edit the photo and make that small print in the corner?
I think just type it into the blog banner. 16-point type or so.
Any better, herr editor?
ja.
I'm sure glad I didn't give Brady a one finger wave when he yelled at us. ;-)
We figured that was you about a second or two after you went past.
