Before I ventured into the bleak, windy wilderness for what turned out to be an awesome ride (barring a couple numb fingers) (more like ten numb fingers), I contemplated waiting until the afternoon to see if it would warm up anymore. Despite the fact that its only supposed to top out at about 31 or 32 today, I made my decision to ride early based mainly on the fact that I wouldn't ruin the trails, and my bike would stay cleaner.
See, here's the thing: I Hate Cleaning My Bike. It's a nuisance, and I have so many other things on my plate (like cleaning the dishes) that cleaning my bike is the last thing I often want to do. Lately, during my whole busted brake debacle, I've been told in no uncertain terms that I need to stop being such a bum and start taking better care of my bike, especially due to the number of miles that I put on it. So I'm going to take better care of it. But if I can keep it from getting all dirty in the first place, then bam! we have a winner!
