Saturday April 18 RIDES

[NbyNW]

Thanks, Mimi! I can already feel a difference with the inhalers. I only huffed and puffed up the steepest hill, and after that I was able to pace myself pretty well.


I love your ride photos! Everyone's ride photos, actually. I need to remember to bring the camera with me . . .

I lead a Recumbent only social ride, but I did some riding before the ride:

And we rode through Central Park! (in Rancho Cucamonga)

I really Dropped those guys!

Actually I was setting up for a group Photo. Since Carlos is a Hollywood cinematographer, we let him handle the camera:

we had lunch, and I rode back home.
Then the fun really began
MY Bacchetta came with 12-28 cassette. it's supposed to have a 11-34. I asked the dealer where Bought what to do, and Bacchetta sent the correct cassette out for free The only catch was he was in Van Nuys (about 70 miles away) I made out there OK/
While Andres (The wrench) was installing the cassette, he notice my Rear wheel was out of true. Carlos Had fallen on my wheel, so that's what did that (new to bents and Clipless pedals)
Then he noticed that my brake pads were worn (only 1000 miles so far), so He replaced them)
The whole thing took two hours, so I occupied myself by test riding stuff and fantasizing about spending my settlement.
I rode
an ICE trice T Trike
A Cattrike expidtion
A RANS Crank forward(a Cruz)
and a RANS X-Stream
Only five bikes in a day
Then it toook me about two hours to get home in LA Traffic
So I spent 12 hours to do a metric!
