out my office window, and saw the snow a flying, and said 'what the hell.' grabbed the smoothie, and headed out for a winter wonderland ride.

the snow was pretty bad that i grabbed my lights. i had my 'disco' rear and my night rider minewt (this light kicks ass, the strobe feature is a little too intense that when i used it i actually got an headache, so i keep it solid) for visibility issues at three in the afternoon.

i headed down to a park that is near the zoo; where there used to be some trails around the park. the only bad part of the ride was when i went down the hill past the zoo; the snow was stinging my face, but the climb up was fun. however; when i reached the park there has been much work down there; baseball fields, houses going up, 'multi-use trails'; so needless to say the trails that used to be there are gone.

i rode around the park, and then headed home; for an overall ride time of about an hour. not bad.

clean up wasn't that bad. i let everything melt. came back to it later that night, checked the brakes, cleaned and relubed the drivetrain; good as working order (not new).
