Microdermabrasion- Western PA Style

It was 45 degrees, foggy, and raining this a.m. So WHY in the world was out riding my bike on the local Rail Trail?? I guess because the road would have been way too cold, the trails would have been too muddy and the trainer would have been too boring for a Saturday in October. Ssssssssssso. I hit the Rail Trail with my Titus HCR. I immediately regretted my descision as rain and a cold wind pelted me in the face. But I rode for 1.5 hours anyway. Riding these trails is only one step above riding inside to me. flat limestone paths that never challenge you, so you have to challenge yourself with standing sprints, and a variety of gears. Felt good to be outside though.

I was alone on the trails except for 3 or 4 kids with a mom type (odd group, dressed badly for such a day in drenched cotton sweat pants and shirts, jeans and helmets on so cock-eyed that the only thing it would have protected is their left ears. Also saw a couple of those freay runner who no matter how freaking cold it is still wear the little silk runners shorts ("Hooters Shorts"). Eeesh They weigh like 120 lbs. How are they not FREEZING??

A fender would have been great on the front and rear today. The muddy limestone coming up off my front tire blasted me continuosly in the face, it was like getting Microdermabrasion. And the rooster tail coming up the back was like a getting a cold water & sand enema. So fresh. So clean. So rubbed raw!

Number of houses seen that acually incorporated Steelers logos etc, as part of the homes structure: 5.

Off to John Harvard's with Wifey tonight whilst B-Man gets his choo-choo on at Papa O'Leary's house.

Later. Still getting my core temp up with some java.
