I got up this morning and realized Amanda had left for work and forgot part of her lunch...
So I rode to campus to drop it off for her.
It was the first ride out on the fat bikes and a good distance.
Enough to get a bit of exercise, but not so far that if anything were mechanically wrong with them that I'd be stranded and walking hours to get home.
I have a bunch of errands to run tomorrow which will take me much further afield and it was a good opportunity to see if the bikes needed any work.
lots of bikes locked up all over campus being snowed on.
door nearest Amanda's office...
As it turns out, the Big Fat Dummy needs work (I mean the bike, not me. Although, I arguably probably need some work as well...)
So it was good to get out and ride it.
Now I know to take the other bike for errands tomorrow...
You look cold! That is a fair amount of snow for early in the season. We had our first dusting of snow on Wednesday but it melted away by afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't that cold. it was only -10°C and I was working hard through the fresh snow. Most of me was sweating. My face was probably a little red from being over warm! But also maybe a bit because I had been riding into the wind on the way to campus and didn't have it properly covered.
DeleteAround here, this isn't that early for snow. People joke about Canadians having to make halloween costumes that fit over winer coats. I do remember as a youth sometimes trick-or-treating in full winter clothes and wading through snow-drifts... I have pictures of my own kids on halloween with snow on the ground! We've often had snowfall in October that doesn't melt until spring! Of course, I also remember trick-or-treating in t-shirts. I also remember Decembers with no snow! Weather here is highly variable!!
