zen? zen! ok maybe i was a little over the top on the zen crap. snow rides are a spiritual experience .doing 2 wheel slides while going straightish, woah nellie that’s fun. the quiet of a night ride in the woods on the first snow of winter.an urban adventure ride in snow filled alleys & levies .the total attention to what you are doing at that moment, HOLY S#&T I’M GOING TO WRECK ,OH I SAVED IT!!!!!! yes i will not die with pain right now. makes snow rides so sublime & exhilerating that i live for them.
so we had some snow & i got to ride over to michelle’s house in the 3 inches of snow. i have a wonderful 6.5 miles of 1 big hill & a few small hills thru downtown kansas city.i live at the top of stawberry hill in kc ,kansas.so i slither down my hill at full speed.make my way across the west bottoms up 12th street hill 1 mile straight up. it doesn’t sound like much if you are from colorado .but in kc it’s a mountian. then shoot thru downtown & go 12 street to her house. the streets were full of snow with ice under it. joy, joy pure happyness. the work of getting up hills with the joy of jetting down on the snow is such a pure joy.
i can’t wait for the next snow ride, tomorrow!
life is so good.
big grin….joel
