Winning the lottery... or 20 bucks the Jens way





So it was just the other day i was talking about how long its been since I've been outdoors on a road ride. Today was winning the lottery, or at least it felt like it. I was fortunate enough to have the day off, and it was sunny and warm, well, warmer than last week when it was 5 below! temps were in the upper 20's and i was determined to harden up and get it done. I pumped the tired on the cross rig, put on an extra layer of everything and headed out. It was breezy but nice. Roads were in pretty good shape except for a few patches of slush on the side streets.
On my way back home, i saw the KKSKI mobile and waived hi to him, shortly after that i had to mash the brakes and double check what i saw. I double back a touch and sure enough, floating in a slush puddle was a soggy 20 bucks! now 20 bucks is 20 bucks, but i figure it all adds up to a killer day for a ride, and since i hardened the F^%$ up and got outside Jens Voigt style, i made some cash while i was at it.

Cheers!

20 bucks? Awesome...

I guess that kinda makes up for no ditch-porn. But hey, with $20, you can buy some of the good stuff.

Nice job sackin' up and heading out. Upper 20's feels like a heat wave right now. Sure wish Gore's global warming would kick in.
