Today's Ride

Re:

Today-Monday-Still hot here, 88 F. this morning when I left for the ride up to Tamarancho-supposed to hit 97 F. (36 C.) this afternoon later...

Back after work and other things getting in the way - like a holiday too

Up the top of Woohoo-ville with no one else around. What is not to like?
There are a few Kangaroo's that live nearby and generally go unnoticed even if it is fairly close to suburbia.

Re:

Today-Tuesday- Hot, 94 F.-Rode up into the Lakes District with Charlie Kelly. On the way up we ran into local frame builder Charlie Cunningham, still recovering from a bad crash last year, but out hiking by himself again...

Re:

Today-Wednesday-Much cooler, about 84 F. -We rode up about 850' to the Lakes today...

Cool to see Charlie Cunningham up and running again!

Pat you ride so much you've worn through your grips again!

Early morning city ride before work, around Cyberjaya a few kms south of Kuala Lumpur. I had to keep up with this roadie on his Cervelo R5, me on my retro MTB with slicks. Phew what a workout, i wheelsucked him for most of the ride, only way to keep up!

Re:

Today-Friday-Cooler and really windy, about 62 F. -This is the first day it feels like Fall around here-The wind was from the West off the ocean, so we hugged the East side of the ridge to the West of town and climbed about 900'...RadNomad- Yeah, I have this habit of throwing my bike down on the ground when we stop, and it uses up the ends of the grips a lot quicker...

Re:

Today-Saturday-We rode up into the Water District-came upon an old electric car from an amusement park stashed along the way to the end of Concrete Pipe Fire road. At the end is where the capped off tunnel comes out of Pine Mtn. from Kent Lake on the other side...

Up through Angmering Park Estate,

Into my neck of the woods!

A bit squidgy in places, after some heavy rain yesterday.

Lovely and quiet, few people about, just as I like it

Stopped for a quick look at the part of the South Downs where I was heading.

Not realizing that the back tyre was going down as I took the photo :facepalm:

Rolled on a few metres to some grass where I actually mended the tube as it was so nice. Put the spare in and carried on.
Up to the South Downs Way, and along the ridge top before heading back. With the rear tyre softening again! :roll:
I had got the culprit out from the first one , just bad luck. Thankfully, I was only a descent away from home by this stage, so having pumped it up a few times. Got back on it. Washed the bike, noticing a thorn in the front tyre as well! :evil: :facepalm: Aaaaargh!
So, two punctures to mend tomorrow.
