Losing Slowblood hit so hard. Immediately upon hearing of his passing so many stories bubbled to the surface of my mind. Makes me think, instead of waiting for each of us to die let's start recounting some of our favorite barf stories now.
I'll start with one:
Riding in the rain with Nemo and Kim. (both no longer post here FML)
I can't remember why, but Nemo, Kim and I decided it would be a brilliant idea to go for a rain ride from Alameda to Point Reyes and beyond. It was not a gentle rain, rather it was a brutally cold, wind driven, full on cyclone-I believe they are referred to as atmospheric rivers nowadays. Anyway, we kept our speed as brisk as fogged up shields and wind chill would permit. It might be a good time to note that that we lacked appropriate rain gear.
What I do remember is sitting in a restaurant in Point Reyes dripping all over and leaving noticeable puddles under our chairs. I also remember water pouring out of our boots with every step.
Good times, I miss my two friends but see them on IG and FB so know that they are both alive and thriving.
Please, post yours, preferably with pictures.
