Good ride! Moderate temperatures. Pretty stiff (5-10) E wind to Goodwin where it became SE. New PR on climb from Airport Drive to Pinto Mountain Rd! Good even if wind assisted. My old personal best has stood for over a year and was no doubt a wind baby too. A decent E wind is rare on that stretch. Usually it is a hard slog uphill into a NW wind although lately there have been some very light E/SE days. I was beginning to wonder if I would ever better the old mark which I think was 12.3 MPH. I pushed it hard today but was not certain I had improved until I got home and uploaded the ride.
Visited with 2 guys from LA at the airport who were waiting to see if the glider bunch was going to show up so they could fly. One gave me a cold Pierre. Good!
Friday evening I sat down and adjusted the drive train as best as I could get it. I had doing a ride yesterday in mind but the wind was just too nasty all day. The bike shifted much better today and although it is not perfect it may be about as good as it will get given the component mix especially the cheap shifters.
I will get in perhaps 2 more rides before Robert picks me up Friday to drive to North Carolina. I still have not decided if I will take a bike or not. I would like to take the Dahon folder but I cannot afford to buy the proper $190 Samsonite suitcase to fly it home in at this time. I may take it and risk flying it home in a cardboard bike box.
I am eliminating the weather gadget from this blog because it always shows the current day and unless I delete it from older posts they stack up at the top of thee blog when it is displayed.
