So because I rode my bike to Edmonton, its my only mode of transportation. I didn't really go anywhere, but I did put a few kilometers on my bike. First thing I HAD to clean it. I am still amazed at how dirty it was. I found a car wash on 50th Street and sprayed it off. After doing that I realized that it was going to take more than that. So I took the car wash brush to it. (I don't usually like doing that but the spray just wasn't cutting it.) That got MOST of the mud off, but the bike still looked like crap. So over to the bike shop on Whyte ave for some cleaning supplies. Then over to Zellers for cleaning clothes. I spent the hour or so in the Zellers parking lot polishing my bike. I got a few weird looks but I didn't really care. I didn't really have anywhere else to do it. It was well worth the time however, I finally found my bike under all the grime.
At least the weather was nice for most of the day so that I could clean my bike. It was raining by the time I had to go to Irene's bridal shower (the whole point of this trip) so its a little water spotty again from that, but nothing compared to last night.
