Back to the Usual



Yes another Leduc run brought to you from Tired as Fuck Industries aka The Lonebiker. yes nightshift ended at seven am yesterday morning and I got out on a rare Friday post nights bike ride.

Riding is better than no riding so the blog will live on no matter how boring things get.
