Relaxed Ride?
well, the big news of the day is that i tricked the LHT (the Surly Long Haul Trucker) out last night for commuting purposes and took it for a commuting spin this a.m. the ride TO school proved excellent- great comfortable handling, an upright position good for commuting (not for roadying), firm brakes, an adequate generator light. i will eventually extend the stem for a more forward position.
So, Friday afternoon roles around and becomes interesting. 'Lance', 'Cheryl', and i are about to head out when we realize that 'Floyd' had ridden to workl. we get in touch with him and invite him along. we all proceed accordingly. well, it was great to have 4 folks using their bike legs to do the commuting thing, but the interesting thing was that 'Floyd', somehow, rides abt 8 miles/hour. yes, 8, and sometimes 10. well, the long story short is that it was a really nice afternoon and i'm glad we all did it. por otro lado, it was the SLOWEST bike ride i'd ever taken. i mean SLOW. but that's fine. it's the feeling that counts, right?
13.5m 85 + sunny and breezy
