you have new pumptracks? we don't even have old pump tracks
Well I lost the closest one to my flat which was iluminated at night, which was run by a bike shop/pizza place which was a bummer but we are still in a pumptrack boom here. We have around 10 pumptracks in Warsaw. A fuckton of them in Poland. 99% of them are asphalt.

Our DSO was not impressed, speed pooped as it was burning her feet I think.
She did eventually go, but went straight back to the fireplace and I wiped the snow off immediately. She was limping back up, so old age + burning feet set in instantly.

followed by a flash freeze at the end of the day (those are °C btw)

Going to try and stock up on staples today at lunch. Then perhaps a fatbike ride this evening followed by a festivus celebration at a buddies' place. (and a long, slow drive home afterwards)...

Up a little bit with the baby last night, so WFH this morning. Also placing a Costco delivery order for steak and bacon. Nothing but steak and bacon, bitches.

Obligatory weather update: 36F here. Fight me.

Also, Layla is refusing to go outside. She went out at 12, very unhappily, I might add. Just stuck her nose out, looked at me, and turned around.

Your pupper may not need these after this week, but I was poking around for dog jackets for xc skiing with Charcoal, and this was the warmest cheapest option, and he seems to like wearing it.


This is the Gucci //////jacket:


And this for paws

Flight was cancelled. No surprise there.

So much for "hey, you should look at flying earlier". But noooooo.... "Planes fly at -60* at 40kft. They won't have any issues." "You're right. BUT THR FUCKING GROUND WILL!"

Parents. Told them 3 days ago to reschedule. Retired aerospace dad went on a tirade about planes and cold. Low and behold, people and ground machines don't work in cold. They're driving from San Antonio now, as it will be days faster.

Found out one of the new pumptracks in my city gets iluminated at night. Now I am really waiting for the thaw.
We need more of this everywhere.

This video from Vinny T shows the Kamloops Bike Ranch at 47 seconds. I had no idea it was lit up at night, which is so cool. It must be a different sensation hitting those big booters in the dark...
