tonight ruled. 8" of snow. we started on putnam trail and proceeded to bomb state st. and go to the liquor store where we got plenty of beer and peppermint schnapps (the essence of winter). We decided to hang out and drink @ rod & gun park. There should be a specific word to describe when the deep snow sucks your wheel in and drags you off course. Shredding the knar? no. The wind from the North was cold as we pulled: riding, slipping, walking. Down into the park our chainrings were drowned in the sheered white. I could just tell all our bikes were hating us for putting them through the torture of the entire drive drain being covered in fresh wet snow. The group was forced to do lots of walking tonight due to the poorly (or not at all) plowed streets, but some people were able to blaze the trail better than others. Ice cold beer was drank in the even colder and icier weather. it was a hard fought fight, but in the end the reigning champ (ec velo) was able to defeat mother nature once again.
learning to hang,
ecvc crew

I would have rode the Pugsley and pissed everyone off.
