A Failed Start to the 2020-2021 Winter Season




 Woe is me... What can I say other than "holy shit that was a lame ride." Calling it now, worst ride of the year at the year end Lonebiker Awards.

I swore a few times and took a couple pics for the blog and started on my way back in search of the missing pedal. It was not located sadly so he will be missed as well as my Garmin GPS that flew away a while back. A much worse feeling than a pedal.
