Hubby got the riding bug today, he just had to ride. And it was not raining, it was drizzling on and off, so he was like I can deal with that. But we did suit up in rain gear and gloves. The first half of the ride was fine, until it started to really rain. LOL :D He was like shit. 6 miles to go and we both got drenched, big time. And it was slow going, I couldn't see a thing and wiping my glasses did little to help. And then 2 miles from home the wind picked up and the joy of riding into very strong wind let's say 20 mph and we were heading right into it. Going home was a pain in the Bleep. Well at least it was 2 miles and not further.
I been like a ant on a sugar cube with my bike. As soon as I get home I gently wash away all of the mud and grime. Then I whip out my tooth brush and go to work on all the hard places to get. I have a bit of diluted degreaser to get rid of any hard greasy areas that do pop up. Rinse it off really good and dry it off.
And I also lean something the hard way. No turning the bike up side down when I break. Yes it looks bad ass, but it's not smart. I got a tear in the handle bar. :( Noticed it when I was cleaning the bike.
I swear I must be the dreaded BUG Murder? When I clean the bottom of the bike, their are really fat ant's and other insects plastered to the bottom of the bike. Oh yeah I forgot to mention yesterday I had a big bug splatter on my teeth. Yuck.
Break day tomorrow.
