A beautiful afternoon ride, mid-70s with a light South breeze. I did 2 warm up laps in the park then set out for Luckie Park with the idea in mind of going on up to JTNP HQ and around on Baseline. I had some apprehension about the uphill with no low gears but it worked out OK. After brief stops at Luckie Park and JTNP HQ I ground up the hill to Baseline and turned for home. I stopped briefly in front of the new Indian Casino to take a photo to send my friend Bill who is anxious to get inside and donate some money to the tribe. A security guard came over and told me the new estimated opening target is Mid-March. This will disappoint Bill who was hoping they would make the February estimate.
When I got to Adobe Road I decided to go west on Sullivan and come home through town rather than the direct route. When I got back to the park I did 2-3 more laps to get the mileage up to 15+. All and all a very pleasant ride in spite of the moderate climbs. I will note that the single gear ratio I am using is pretty low, 39/21. I spin out at about 15 MPH. When my legs get stronger I will drop to bigger gears. A very common single speed gearing is 46/16 which I could not push very well at this time.
