Ass Crack of Dawn

so i have my thermodynamics final at noon thirty today. the final is covering thermochemistry and how to find air fuel ratios, fuel air ratios, anti knock index, etc, etc, based off the chemical reaction of the fuel when burned with air. its some pretty geeky shit. any way i was suppose to teach a private ski lesson this morning from 9:30-11:30 which would give me just enough time to rush home, change, and rape the shit out of my exam. so i get up at the ass crack of dawn this morning to study before i had to work, and as im getting ready to go to the hill, my boss calls me to inform me that the lesson was canceled. fuck.

Fixed Push cause Fixed Gear isnt gnarly enough.

"fixed push messenger, work down town, week days, make my own hours. its pretty cool"

wow, fucking hipsters.

30 mile bike ride, 15 degree weather, one fucking speed... no problem.

So yesterday luke an i went for an epic winter ride. this was my first one ever and it was a blast. we rode 30 miles of mixed road, gravel, paved bike path, nordic ski trail, atv trail, sidewalk, and restored prarie land. we took off from hill top mankato, and rode all the way out to the kasota prarie. it was a lot of fun, i just need to find a way to keep my feet warm. luke did the ride on his dank salsa cross bike. i manned up and rode all 30 miles on a single speed raleigh xxix.

the kasota prarie restoration is really cool and i wish i would have brought my camera along, there were some truly epic places to get some action shots. the ride in total was 3 hours and 10min, not too shabby considering i was on the onefs. after the ride, i geared up and threw down a five hour ski session over at mount kato. it was an epic day.
