Deck art no more

Get this. After 10 years in this apt, we had collected 8 pieces of deck art (bikes). Our landlord told us last weekend he has been fighting the city the last 2 months. They want them taken down. A 'blight' on the neighborhood, they say. Well we're moving anyhow, so here 4 of them are at thw curb. Any guesses how long they will be curbside?

Pay back is sweet

Here is my buddy NJ & I on the duck creek today. After 5 days below zero, 12 degrees felt good. 3 inches fresh snow added to the enjoyment. 3 more weekends in titletown. Watch for last weird outing. A request for the 5 hour ultimate was placed. ??

super sub zero riding

This week has been the super frigid!! Today I rode to the dentist, 830am, minus 13 degrees, wind to back. (-40, but couldn't feel.) On the way home, into that -40 windchill, and I must say you wouldn't last long if you didn't have the gear. My visor kept the wind off the glasses, but when I looked up, they'd tear and freeze instantly! Should of had the ski goggles on!! OR, we will be in Decatur the weekend of Feb 15, moving in! Just over three more weeks of this shit!!

Saturday ride

The ice is cleared from the streets, but it is more peaceful on the east river. Yesterday was about 10 degrees, sunny, windchills about 0 to -8. There is a 1 to 2 inch crusty sandlike snow on the edges, so the best riding was on the snowmo/atv tracks. In Georgia, 60 degrees.

Moving chronicles

Jan 5....it rained for 10 hours on Jan 3 afternoon/evening, then temps drop to zero, windchills 20 below, and it stayed cold. Todays high was 12, but sunny. We've had two days of total ice here in GB. As a pedestrian, forget it. As a cyclist, if you do not have studded tires, forget it. I am down to 12 lbs of air pressure in both front and back to get maximum studdage. Frozen river riding has been good this last week. Now the sidewalks are the best. Selling off all unused belongings and readying for move to Decatur in February. I am using this blog also as a diary of our move from a #2 cycling state, to #48. #2, yea right!!
