Foggy Rides
The weather has been so sketchy here lately, yesterday was almost dangerously foggy to ride outside and with 70% chance of rain I probably should have thought of something else to do, but it was supposed to be a big ride day so I went for it. If anyone can guess the ski hill I rode to I should probably give you a prize, maybe like a powerbar or something. So foggy out that I couldn't even see the top of the huge 4oo ft ski hill! 
I needed windshield wipers and a double visor, I was bummed with only one. The new Nike shades are really nice though. I had the orange lenses in and it seemed like it was sunny out all ride! I took them off to clear the water off at one point and the sky looked really really dark and I thought it was going to thunderstorm, then I put the glasses back on the sky looked like it had for the last 2 hours so I kept riding. Those lenses are going to have to stay in.
Still, the coffee tasted good. Even better, it was free, they only take cash, now I owe them. I should have taken pictures of the customers that were giving me looks, that would have been way more entertaining than a cup of joe and a helmet. 
My feet stayed warm and dry too. Freddy hardcore fenders in full effect with Glad kitchen wrap around the shoes before the shoe covers go on. Good thing too cause I could wring out my shoe covers when I got back. Wet feet? Nope!
Fuel 110 update. If you have an hour and a drill, you can cut the weight of a bontrager bottle cage down quite a bit using an 1/8" bit. If you see me riding without a cage and looking withered and thirsty, it's cause it broke off. If I win the race, it's because it didn't!
