20 miles before VCC! Weeee!

Great ride this morning before work!
Had to pick up some rabbits before work from pr0n warehouse.
Which means a quick little 20 miles before the bike shop.
Tail wind on the way there was a blast, headwind on the way back, not so much.

Valentines Day is coming...

So much stuff to do. Valentines Day is coming.
Biggest day of the year for The Kinky Llama.
Order inventory, create new images, banners, and adding product.
Past two days off from the bike shop have been filled with errands, cleaning, and work!
One day, I will open a store, have employees, and be able to take a vacation.
Greatly needed.

Back to laundry, one more load left.

Then Kinky Comedy Showcase tonight at Old Town Pub!

6°F Feels Like -9°F - Cold feet last night, fine this morning

A few deliveries last night as it got colder out. Near the end of them, my feet were getting cold. Time to get boots for those nights.
However today, no problems.
Well, except for www.kinkyllama.com being down for a few hours around 7am today.
Great way to start the day. Then upon arrival to the bike shop, our network was also down.
Bah!

Same gear as yesterday, except no swrve pants today, went with my toasty Gore Bike Wear SO Fusion pants.

Have a great day! Weeee!

24°F Feels Like 10°F - Overdressed ride in...

My favorite new Swrve pants were dirty, so I wore SO Fusion pants instead, and my butt was toasty. If my ride in was any longer than it's current 4 mile distance, I would have been hot like fire. Could have done without a layer on the top as well. Note to self: Next time, do laundry, and wear less.

Fun ride none the less. I really enjoy riding after a day of snowfall.
And I didn't even almost get hit by a car today. It was sweet.

Check out the Swrve WWR pant in the title link. It is the bomb diggity.

Getting Crafty

Just got some new Craft baselayers to keep me warm during the winter rides.
Some of my favorite cold weather pieces.
They will get plenty of use during the next few months.

First Post

My first post. Weee!
What a great ride in this morning!
Major snowfall in the Chicago area made for a fun time on the way to the shop.
So glad I do not drive a car.
