Sunday AM

W&OD Whole Foods in Vienna to Bikenetic:

Fine until you reach the “leaving vienna” sign then probably 60-65% glassy ice to Gallows. I walked all the ice. Even that was sketchy although I might have attempted to ride the crunchy snow covered grass on the shoulders if I had knobbies. And adult supervision to goad me on.

Bridge over 66 on Virginia Lane had some ice but rideable for a chicken like me. Then fine til you cross Shreve – a short stretch of ice that I walked. The wooden bridge over 7 had ice but clear lanes of travel.

I’m an ice chicken.

I really really think we can do better than this. This isnt really that informative. A more informative scale might be:

Rule 9 Rider Scale:
( ) Only DIRT is out today
( ) ELITE Riders like ARLINGTONRIDER and WHEELS&WINGS will brave the travails of the trails
( ) RCANNON and other FREDs may be found on the trail
( ) Such a beautiful day even MATT AUNE and THE KID may emerge from their Suffercaves and dare to go outside

YES. Just because you’re out on slicks doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want studs and my full face helmet and my knee/elbow guards.

Thanks for letting me tag along this am. Special thanks to Chris R and Greg for keeping me company!

I can get both my mtn bike and my road bike in the back of my Honda Fit with no issues (wheels on). Granted, they’re both borderline midget bikes.
