Pedro Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Thought of this report after Bob's weekend camping in a muddy field one. December 2019, although the weather is shit, I've just spent a week jonesing for riding my bike, so although the weather promises to be shity, I go out maintaining my ritual of going out for lunch on the bike on saturdays when I'm home. I usually ride in jeans, but needed to test the suit pants to see how they still fit so the bad weather gave me the perfect reason to. No pictures on the road, cause it was wet and I didn't feel like taking gloves off in the rain. I know it doesn't compare to Bob's weekend camping in a muddy field, but I have standards to have a good time. Above is my usual sport for going for coffee on the bike, I'm all alone today, below is how it usually looks: After that, went to lunch on my favorite hilltop restaurant, had some nice typical scrambled eggs (too difficult to explain what's special about them) while the weather turned to shit outside. Made my way back closer to home, and stopped by my other favorite place: Stopped by the supermarket for some dinner supplies, as I had friends for dinner that evening, but when I got home I came across this filthy bike from wet country roads, this is farm country so there's lots of muck on the road: Pants straight to the washer! Time to get a fire on, and cook a nice simple dinner, a puttanesca with added spinach for health Bike was washed the week after, as it pestered my thoughts daily 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 I get that, but I can’t bring myself to wash the bike if I can’t ride it gently till warm to properly dry it off for the week. And a GS is probably the hardest bike to clean and dry off if not riding it in warm dry air. I’d rather not wash it, if I leave it half wet I will leave home for the workweek with a guilty conscience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
