as the snow begins...

snow ride to the video store...

to fall this weekend, michelle and i thought that the best idea was to rent some movies and munch on some pop corn. so instead of digging out the car; i took the bike to the video store.

staying on the main roads wasn't too bad. i just had to find a groove made by a car and i was set. as i started bouncing between streets; that's when it got tricky. i was sliding all over the place. as i came to a main road, i was lucky enough to draft behind a post office vehicle to the drive just before my turn. i hung on him like stink on shit. drafting behind the cars today was good. they weren't going that fast, so i was able to anticipate where and when they would turn. as long as i followed their tire path; as it kicked up snow and left a small 'path' of road.

took a longer way home...which sucked. back to a main road that i knew would be plowed somewhat. then i hit a part of the road where the plows just came from; so that was good.

took a spill just as i needed to turn into my drive, but snow is soft. although if i keep this up...a thunderwing would be a good idea.

now...time for some drink and a movie.
