Harbor Trip

6.14 Harbor-1

I met up with my buddy Aaron, on his Rambler, for a trip down to the Channel Islands Harbor this morning.  It was a sort of rain check ride for the one that never happened on Wednesday.

Plus we get to watch boats heading out for the day, boil some water, brew up some tea and coffee before he heads on further to work, and I head 11 miles back towards home.

This ride had a testing aspect as well.  My new wheel set was delivered yesterday, and there was no delay in getting the Luxos headlight mounted and wired up.  Performance in the early morning darkness was fantastic, best light I have ever owned hands down.  The ride home gave me a chance to test out the USB charger.

Happy Friday, get out and ride this weekend!
