Seattle, WashingtonYes, that super grubby paw is mine. Barely 200 feet out of the gates and my chain came off. And then refused to go on despite several tries. By the time I got it on, my hands were well and truly grimed. But the show must go on. Had an excellent ride across I-90 and along SR 520, the SRT, and the BG. HAD to stop several times to pick blackberries--though it occurred to me that I might be ingesting a certain amount of bike grease as well. I love blackberries...
Am still enjoying "New York 2140"; despite it being a "light read" in some ways, the overall effect is quite fun--and fascinating.
