@Krakatoa Che didn’t want to stay away too long. Glad to hear he’s back in your hands.
@tripple3, you and
@cyclingday,
@Cory,
@mrg and
@SKPC look like you’re getting some great CA coast rides in these days! Ride on 5 year thread!!
@fordmike65 The pics you guys have been posting from the FF event at the brewery are great. So many killer bikes in one spot and many being ridden. Very cool stuff.
Washed the 41 New World today. Spent some time cleaning/lubing the chain and making sure moving parts weren’t coming apart. You know, checking the nuts on the pedal blocks, tweaking the chain guard a little, pushing on the mudguards, oiling the rear hub, lubing squeaky seat spots, etc... I agree with
@SKPC when he posts about how nice it is to ride a quiet bike. There were times tonight when the bike disappeared beneath me. It was quiet and smooth as it cut through the still desert air. The energy I put into the bike cranks turned directly into pushing the wheels against the canal path. None of it was wasted on acoustic energy radiating from the bike, except when I rang my bell.
Fun riding on the empty path and loosing myself in thought, not remembering any of the automatic piloting of my silent bike that was going on in other parts of my brain.
Hung out with Kyrene at 10PM.
