Well, we finally got the arctic weather we've all been hoping for. Went out with T.J. and Gumby on Thursday night and tried to get frostbite. We cruised around town and hit the powerline trail, which was very deep with snow (we did a bit of walking). I started to get extremely cold and so T.J. passed me the flask. I took a great big sip of what should have been whiskey. Turns out it was full of tequila... Thanks T.J. (yuck!). We probably rode for 15-20mi and towards the end of it, my fingers and toes were burning with extreme pain. I'm going to be investing in some bar mitts and riding with boots next time! T.J. and Gumby both rode their custom Pugsleys and I was on my single speed GT 29er, which handled surprisingly well with 29x2.35 tires!

That's my boys!!!!!!!!
Barmitts from farm and fleet, get some heavy winter boots and go with some grippy mtb pedals. Good job on getting out there.

Indeed! I'm hoping they got a restock on those camo mitts!!!
I rock the camos in N.Y. and everyone gets the hell out of my way when they see me coming. One old lady in her Benz was horrified when she saw me.

hey, I wanna come next time! Put the Real Tree™ mitts on the the Ross today and I felt like a Boss. They helped me get excited for the ride around campus, kept my hands warm, and scared/confused pedestrians.
Sounds like nothing but goodness comes from the camo mitts. Jakey, I'll be sure to let you know next time! I didn't think you were up to taking the BossRoss out in the snow. Hope you got the brakes fixed!
My latest adquisition is a Schwinn Cimarron which I will turn into a Studded tire bike. My Cannondale has been stolen by Jelly Boy for his commute to Target.

Ok, I promise, no more tequila.
