I got up early to go to Chicago today. The Jetta has been wearing Blizzaks during the winter months. Rather than putting the old tires with ~36,000 miles of wear I decided a summer set of wheels and tires would be easier. All my bikes have spare wheels, why shouldn't the Jetta. After finding a set on the VW forums close enough to worth the drive... I took a drive. They're not too terribly special, but they're round and hold rubber and they were a fraction of the cost of a new set. Once I get them cleaned up and mounted I'll put some images up.
It was a lot of windshield time with the round trip taking roughly 6 hours to the north side 'burb. On the way back I stopped to have lunch with Cupcake at a little Italian Deli. Thanks Cupcake.
With the rain falling most of the day I don't feel like I missed anything by not riding today.
Old road racers don't stop, they just get on single speeds... and drink coffee. Lots of coffee and breves. To avoid expensive therapy and to work on my creative writing, I'll be posting various thoughts here.
