Just Cold Not Wet

More of an urban assault ride, with the Evil One. Rush hour through the University of Minnesota campus meant dealing with buses and pedestrians. No crit or cross race could ever be this technical. The back of buses don't follow the line of the wheels, they move toward the curb they're turning away from. Pedestrians dare you to run into them despite their crossing against the light. There's an energy that comes from successfully navigating all this and surviving it.

Then in the middle of this regulated chaos comes the beauty and simplicity of the Mississippi River. The colors make you slow down and even stop to take it all in.

Peace


Saw Kurt on his Argon, his fast bike. We got to talk and catch up a little. 26/15.4
