Biking 1:01:53 15.76 mi (15.3 mph) +11m
ahr:123 max:140 slept:7.0 weight:217.8lbs shoes: Long Haul Trucker
Time is not bad considering I felt oomph-less.
I left a little sluggishly - I need to just shut it down after I do something later; instead, mindless browsing. :|
~~
Thanks to silky's note about their valve stem nuts, I learned that Problem Solvers offers a chain tug / derailleur hanger. I know I am supposed to love single speeding....but I'm kind of meh on it, at least with this bike and these legs, so I may use my old 9 sp xram parts and one of those to gear up the orange bike, which would make it a viable commuter - able to get a tired me up the final hills to Plymouth in the evenings, but not spin out at 13 mph on the ride in, and I don't care if it gets salty. Should be inexpensive - a fresh d cable, new 9 sp cassette, new chain, that fancy chain tug.

Back home. So hungry! I tried to stop at the Segway rental place for a candy bar, but they were closed.
Time wasn't terrible, considering tiredness.
I saw two separate cx practice sessions. One guy had flags up and some little barriers to hop. Another group was ripping around on the grass lapping some copses.
