Washed my bike today

[Brandi]

Thanks for reminding me that I need to wash my bike and my truck!. Or I should say me and my dh's truck (we have only one car, it works for us).

I'm super anal about cleaning my bike. The weather has been super cold here for the last several weeks and riding outside is not an option for me when it gets below 30 degrees air temp + windchill factor. No way jose. What the heck are the odds of giving my bike a bath and then riding outside like 2 days later - 40 degrees and no wind. Haha, as I was riding I was getting mad whenever I had to go through a wet, sandy spot or half-melted road salt. All I could think about was the need to whipe down my down tube and the fear of seeing all those little bastard pieces of sand stuck to my once-shiny silver chain and cassette.
