Passed By Chick, Bit the Dust


Oh man... this post is gonna come off so misogynistic. 

Waitt! How am I gonna save this? Well, I watched some WNBA action when I got home from the ride and ate another amazing meal by Mrs Lonebiker. 

Boom! 

Oh no. Did I just type my wife made me dinner?

Crashing on pavement sucks. Crashing on pavement at 48 really sucks.
