Ride for Saturday, 03 February
Rode down to the Farmer's Market. Bit of a nasty ride down there with freezing rain leaving slick ice on the road. I decided to lock my bike outside the market instead of leaving it at the office and walking down there and freezing. Stopped off at IdealBikes to get a coffee from the coffee shop next door. By the time I was done and headed back the freezing rain was done and the rise in temperature melted the ice. Bit of a messy ride home, but at least it wasn't slippery.
Saw the muppets of the day from a couple of weeks ago while I was riding back on the fire trail. Their dogs were still running around loose, this time I made no effort to avoid them when they ran at me - trying to stop with the inertia from 40 pounds of groceries would not be a pretty sight. Fortunately (or not) I didn't hit any of the dogs, but the female muppet shouted something at me that I ignored.

You're a brave soul to have biked all the way to the Market Saturday morning - holy cow! It was pretty messy.
Pants and I ventured over around 9 and got out of there just as it started getting crazy. We've tried hitting the farmers market at Alderney Gate - its got good produce, but far less selection.
PS. You should stick a link to your blog RSS feed somewhere on your blog template. I wanted to add your feed and I had to go fishing for it. Bloggers feed urls are pretty standard, yoururl.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
Just for you, Kayte, there's a link for the RSS feed. I've always just used http://blogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml for feeds, but I guess it's all changed now and people want a shortcut set up. See how I bend over backwards for the 15 people who unaccountably read this blog?
Rawk! I have a dorky homepage set up for myself that pulls the rss for stuff I read regulairy - so I can see at a glance what sites have new stuff.
Unlike my blog - which has been a den of slack since the holidays, roh hoh hoh!!!
I use FeedOnFeeds but it needs a MySQL server and a web server and (realistically) a Unix box of some flavour...
And yes, your blog are teh slack! ;-)
