I'd called a 'level 2" (14-16 mph) preseason ride ... about 15 people came! 32 degrees at the start... I got out early for an extra dozen and then we did a very extended ride - 59 miles on the folder - and I reminded myself that I wasn't leading the ride so I could go as far as I wanted ... and along the way I found out that two of my riding buddies were going to go to a dance recital at Skateland so we all went and that was worth another dozen miles (and FPTRNT was there). Grand total 84 miles on three different bikes. (H-435)

I can understand why folders make a person want to tour the world! They're easy to ride and when the road deteriorated to gravel and mulch... no problem. Those two-inch Schwalbe Big Apples just CHOMPED it up (and I am a very serious gravel weenie).

Yea, I"m a bit tired
