Saturday Chilling

Chilling out on a Saturday morning...
The "chilling" was needed after the playing.
My snowbike had to navigate both snow and cacti, all in one ride. Fortunately, I didn't run over any cacti!
But I did manage to break a pedal. I'm such a strong rider (hehe) that I ripped the pedal right off the spindle. Here's how my pedal normally looks:
And here's how it looked after this 110 lb monster yanked the pedal off its spindle...
It made for a slow and interesting ride home!

Happy Saturday!

  1. What a diversity of terrain you experienced on your ride. Snow, cacti. Hope it is easy to fix your pedal. I bet that was an annoying ride home!

  2. Back to the Merryweather team for repairs!!! I thought the snow might be in short supply by now, but I remember you saying some time ago the only months without snow might be July and August? and even them there would be a possibility of some.

  3. Hi there, Wow-what a ride! We didn't get the hail that you got; I'm thankful, but figure we could still get it at some point. Hope you get your spindle fixed quickly. It clouded up here today and I read that we are supposed to get rain all next week.
    Have a great Sunday!
