This is going to be an entry full of TLA's or 3-letter acronyms. Right now I am supposed to be taking my test lap in the snow over in Jkpg and generally enjoying the social atmosphere that is CX Cupen. But sometimes things go shite.

I overslept a bit and was loading my car at 09.30 and also clearing off a good 5 cm of wet snow. Good thing I had the vinterdäck put on yesterday. Bad thing that I haven't had time to actually use them before the snow came. They are odubbade which is fine for the snöslaskblää we get in Gbg but they are useless on ice. And ice is what SMHI was warning for.

My car has no TLA's like ESP or ASR to keep me on the road when things slide. In fact, I don't even have ABS brakes. So this is old school driving. And after some practice it is fine but today I felt like a certain Disney character in the wet snow. After a crazy 30 minutes of driving I was only at Bollebygd and decided to stop and decide if this was really worth it. A coffee would make that decision easier, tänkt jag. And that 20kr kaffe/bulle deal was enough for my Statoil card to be rejected. Lovely. This day is getting better and better.

So I decided to turn around and head home. If I really had to, I would have continued. And if I had already been in Jkpg I would have raced. But driving there and back in this slask/snö crap was nothing that felt terribly intelligent today.

Now I am home and can take a little winter tour on my MTB instead and then watch GVA CX this afternoon. I can have my own CykelFest here...
