Bicycles and Gear for Going Places Near and Far Self Propelled With Comfort and Speed
One of my mid-week luxuries is the swap meet. The predisposition to wander through other people’s junk for sale probably comes from my dad dragging me through garage sales and the Thunderbird swap shop as a little kid. Today the fog is back in force after one day of sun.
I even find useful things in the piles once in a while. Today, things came up empty, and it is time to get back to something productive.
I rode the Trek on the longest trip yet today. 22 Miles round trip to the farmers market. The wind was hitting pretty good off of all four corners as I worked through the ride. While not quite as fast as I am on the Roadeo, I made quite respectable speed, still averaging between 12 and 15 mph on the open road. The front loading, low trail geometry, sitting upright of this bike build really has me smitten. I am really looking forward to installing the basket I have on order.
I have not had the Roadeo out in the last couple of weeks, and am feeling like I should put it to use this week, but the Trek is jus so much fun to ride.
Usual run around town this morning. First longish ride on the Trek. As the initial impression is taking shape all I can say is that this bike gives a really nice ride with the 650b conversion. The handling is shockingly precise and smooth for an old beat up bike like this, with heavy frame tubes too. Big thoughts are forming…
Today is going to be an interesting day, lots of potential, and I am warming up to throw everything I have at it.
It is amazing what 4 or 5 hours of solid sleep can do for one’s disposition.
The summer sun and heat made their appearance this morning.
Lots of nice stuff at the swap meet, but too rich for my blood today.
