Yay! Minneapolis

I will be at or near Minneapolis by this time next week!!!  I am that excited.  I rocked my I (heart) MPLS t-shirt well before the ranking.  But I love that ranking.  Fuck yeah.  Bringin it to Chicago.  Couldn't make me happier.

Nice Mpls talk with two new bike peeps last night.  Why are we so cool?  And you know I ain't usually cocky.  It's all y'alls.  I ()ust feel so at home.  And that's the idea.  For Thunder Bikes.

But back to Minneapolis.  Streaming The Current.  The TB mix is chock full of songs heard on 89.3.  What kicked this blog into gear was The Rural Alberta Advantage.  Great name and vibe, I decided I must post, wherein the inevitable review of other recent posts take place, and I see this pic for the 2nd time today.

Ya know, do I even know how to link in this thing?  Damn.  Check out QBP's page on Facebook.  Basically it's a snow & more so ice enclosed bike the likes of which. . .

Another funny observance did happen today--Chicago meterologists forcast snow like they do rain.  I could have totally ridden today, and I'm fairly positive my downtrodden attitude would have risen notches higher, especially on the way home.  But I don't hate CTA.

I actually think my fav part of the day was when the Santori valet asked me "No bike today?"  There's a couple valet guys at Greek Islands that like my bikes, but I hadn't ever talked to short Santori Guy, much less realized he noticed me or my bikes.  And right as the truth about snow scares was becoming clear!    I SO wanted to hop on my bike outside the door today.  What?  Twenty something?  So damn mild.  I mean, Mpls picture?? (not pictured above)  Chicago is great because its ()ust that much milder.  I do need a legit pair of gloves though.  Knit gloves and those mini-stretch gloves will not hold at a night time 20. In the sunlight, they didn't seem as bad, same temp. . . needless to say, must find.  And fenders for The Continental.  I don't ever want to be afraid of a 1 inch "forecast".

Looking forward.
