E338 – Aqua Survives An Oregon Winter



Superfan Aqua rejoins us after a brief bout of good weather and tells us about the real Oregon experience.  What’s it like to ride in winter weather on two coasts?  Also, is it OK to walk through a grocery store in your stretchy bikey clothes?

Also: it was the Big Game.  To me, those balls are perfect. (thanks Funemployment Radio)
