Commute #12

I commuted on the SSFrankenTrek today after some spiffy easy maintenance. I'm curious to see how the Trek's gearing inches/rise (oh, sounds sorta homoerotic. need to tread lightly here) measure up to Dave's new ride. It's certainly a bigger gear than the QB provides. I rode through Cherokee withe designs on a long afternoon to put me over 30 for the day. Instead I found myself knee deep in preparing to teach the "Yuuts" and didn't leave work in time for big mileage, so a 19m day had to suffice. And it did.

And a much stranger note, below is a pic of a LHT locked to a sign. This bike was locked in the same place all weekend in a rather conspicuous spot. Frankly, I don't understand why it's there and hope the owner hasn't come to ill favor. It was out there at least from Fri to Sun, but I don't know if it's gone now. I think I'll check in the a.m. It's an obviously cared-for LHT and a good commuter selection. What legit LHT owner would leave their prized rig locked up in such a shitty spot for so long? It begs to be stolen. Here's hoping for the best.
