The Ball Whisk B’Day Party
Gotta earn the BnB
Well Loved Ones, we are here at the end of a very wonderful year. I cannot tell you how much this last year has brought in the way of transformation. In the spirit of one of the wiser among us, I offer that we’re just 20 or so days away from a wonderfully symmetrical celebration. Yes, A., I’ve been thinking a lot about you and J and E and A and symmetry and I cannot wait to have a fantastic new years with you.
Start thinking of E. fun things for us to do. Hopefully the snowpack will hold and we can go cx skiing and sledding with our old friend BnB never far from our napoleon pockets.
Wonderful Winter Tidings to you friends!
Yea!!!! Winter is here!
First real winter commute of the season...weee
Waxing the skis today and want to sing the praises of Nokian Hakka’s in the 35 700. Carved the snow like a big silver and red tranny on good acid.
Why aren’t you out in this joy J.?

My Plea for better bike path management in Madison
So here in chilly Madison, WI, those of us that winter bike commute are treated every year to the joy of fresh snow in the morning only to have a soupy mess by the evening commute. The reason? Our city sands the bike paths. Sand creates this loose less stable surface that quickly erodes drive trains. My only thought is that the sand is laid down for all the damn dog walkers to not bust arse. I would heartily recommend short short leashes and YakTrax. Imagine if we treated roads not for cars but for pedestrians how loud the uproar would be.
I’ve written to the city and I hope that through talking to people we might be able to affect change.
My wife and I have bike commuted for 3 Madison winters. Our only serious spills have happened when hitting the brown snow where the city has sanded. Please stop sanding the bike paths. Sand works great for cars, but turns roads into loose soup for narrow tyres like bikes. In addition it is the primary reason winter drivetrains breakdown on bikes. Please save money and stop sanding bike paths. If bike transportation is to be taken seriously here, we need bike sensitive route maintenance.
