it was hot out today. finally the thermometer reluctantly broke to the -1 degrees celsius cap which seemed to be stubbornly frozen there the whole freakin' winter.
and i took my old girl The Bitch out for a ride today. I haven't been riding for most of the winter, because my chronic procrastination meant that the fender i was supposed to have installed by the end of last semester still hasnt been put on yet, which meant that every ride through the slush and mud will cause my whole bag and back to look like it's been through a mudfight. Furthermore, her gears are sluggish and sticky at -20 degrees Celsius, but otherwise old dependable her is still a good ride, the muddy back not withstanding.
my dear, how have you aged! your body is now encrusted with a layer of salt and ice. Your gear teeth are sandy, and your brakes are rusty. and yet, you still remain powerful and can still wipe the floor of those wimpy road cyclists. how i love you so, my bitch!
For one, the Bitch has been a constant companion in my life here. And so she will deserve a pampering at the bike shop next weekend ;)
