Don't know if any of you get to encounter this, but every spring, as the water is coming out of the ground, our earth worms surface too. Sometimes, after a big rain, the worms are everywhere - and they often slither along out into the road. This particuarly morning, my friend and I were doing our usual ride, and mentioned that we had seen quite alot of worms, but when we stopped at the turn, I happened to glance down at my brake pads, and of course, gobs of worms...worms where under the frame, on the frame, on the tires, on the chain, on the water bottles, and even up under the seat! Yuck...fast ride home to clean up the bike! I just hate worms!
