S(n)ow mayonnaise, reap the (flame) war
Mayonnaise War :D
Hellmann's. Best Foods. Kewpie. Duke's. Kielecki. Winiary. Let's make a mayonnaise war here! :) What Mayonnaise is the Australia's fave? New Zealand? UK? Elsewhere? Poland's split into these two camps: Sour. Full of character. A traditional post war taste in Poland copied by many former...

Duke's is very popular in North Carolina! Perhaps it's a southeast US thing?
I use the old giant corporate food option... Kraft.

Back to riding 
...I am anxiously awaiting my maiden shopping expedition with my new trailer! It arrived on Wednesday and popped together in less than 5 minutes, and the connection to the bike was also easy and straightforward. Took it for a quick spin around the block in between rain showers and it seemed quiet and stable.
It's all hooked up and ready to go in my garage, but continuing bands of rain and wind gusts up to 45mph have kept me inside so far today
. Winds are dying down and rain letting up around 3 this afternoon, so 
!

Why haven't I been bike riding:
"At 11 pm Sea-Tac airport at 1.94 inches of rain for the day and it is still raining. In 77 years of records there have only been 6 days in January with 2 inches or more of rain. The 1.94 inches is 34 percent of the Seattle monthly January normal"
"Hoquiam got 5.78 inches of rain on Thursday and had about 6.21 inches by Friday morning, making it the coastal city’s wettest day ever on record"
"Shelton got 4.5 inches of rain on Thursday, and Olympia had a total through Friday morning of about 4.64. inches"
"The tiny city of Rainier, southeast of Olympia in Thurston County, got a record 10 inches of rain in 24 hours."
"On Thursday, Leavenworth was hit with 36 inches of snow in less than 24 hours." Leavenworth is our faux Bavarian Village on the east side of the Cascades. All four major mountain passes have been closed due to snow, tree falling and avalanches since Thurs and will remain closed till Sunday, they report.
"Snoqualmie Pass, the lowest of the four passes at 3,022 feet (910m) above sea level, received 236 inches this season as of Jan. 3, the most in 20 years."

Yep, that's our winter so far in the great PNW... Fortunate up here on Whidbey that we only get about half Seattle's rain!

My rain gauge showed 1.1 inches since midnight. Okay, if I'm honest it shows 1.09 inches since midnight. It had about an inch when I headed to bed from yesterday.

In The E-Bike Heaven 
At Specialized Warsaw. These guys have used their e-bike charging station for the first time ever (on my Vado SL). The charging station is meant for larger events when several e-bikes are to be charged at the same time. Each of the two stations includes 36 and 48 V Specialized chargers.
I'm with a family of customers here. The wife had tested a gorgeous Como SL in brushed aluminium and she found size S was too small for her. Now, techies build another Como SL, size M,same nicer colour, and she'd get her bike before the store closing at 2 pm. That's the service!
Polish Food Porn At nearby Bar Meta ("Finish Line"), or a biker restaurant.
I have ridden for 64.2 km (40 mi) in 3 hours and 24 minutes (slow!) There was frost and ice on my journey. I have found Vado SL a tad too slow a bike for winter conditions!

@Stefan Mikes What did that Polish Food Porn cost for lunch?
I like it - a bike store with a couch - for the partner couch-potato!

It was equivalent to US$5 for the meal and US$2.50 for tea. It is four PLN to a dollar nowadays.

Tea is clearly the business to be in!

ohhhhh boy, damn near killed myself today!!
Took the fat tire out to my fave trail. It wasn't groomed but it had a packed single track trail...
The trail was only as wide as a bike tire and if you blinked you were out of the track and into the snow. I feel over a bunch as the snow would grab the tire and I'd skid out even with studs. A guy stopped and he says you got way too much tire pressure. I felt his tire and it was nearly flat! He said about 2-3 PSI.
So I dropped the pressure way down and what a difference it made! Only fell over a couple times on the last 8 miles! I was exhausted even with the Ebike!
On a bright note, a guy on a Lamere Ebike pulls up and we start talking. He's the owner and it turns out he lives in my neighborhood! Super nice guy!
There bikes are beautiful but out of my price league.
