mud

Today was a good day all and all 😀 . We did not get a lot of sleep last night because the noise level on Friday and Saturday nights is set on “loud”. The helicopter was buzzing around midnight looking for someone who fled after a vehicle pursuit. So we had the sirens of the chase and then the bird in the air making announcements every so often – oh happy joy joy.

I loaded up the bike and headed away from here. Parked at my friends home and headed out from there. I found a few muddy areas that were not posted no trespassing – I ask you how can I turn my wheels away from perfectly good fields full of mud?

The new tires totally SUCK in the mud. No bite the back wheel kind of spins like a truck when mired in the mud – round and round with very little progress. I did not ride far through the fields as the energy cranking through the slop with the tires spinning wore me out fast! Put life is good. It has been along time since I have had to carefully sneak the Bat Bike upstairs after knocking off clumps of mud. I like to let it dry out, shake what I can off and then go for the cleaning. I am lazy at heart I guess. Put when it is dry I can vacuum it off with a brush first and then clean the chain etc.

Snapped a few shots with the cell phone (click on pics to see larger) after I got back to my friends.
