Ride Notes

It's gonna Rain... It's gonna Snow....   Do you still ride?  I did.  I looked at the forecast for later today and saw the grim notes of rain with a change to snow as it cools off.  60% chance of precip in sunny Colorado means you need to expect to get wet.  Gear up and ride because the parking is still cheaper, the weather will change and gas is on the rise...

35F felt like 30 with cloud cover and cool wind blowing in.
Just one dip on the road who didn't right hook me but came darn close...

Ride Notes

I can handle the cold... I'd ride at zero with the right gear on.  It's the wind that sucks.  It felt like I was riding backwards at points in my ride today.  Slowest ride to work on the new bike.... Still, I beat the bus in..

75 miles on the Odo.  30F on the ride in this am.  5-15mph gusts from the West...

Kickstand hack

Got this idea off the interwebs from click-stand.com and a couple of instructable hacks. 2 pieces of aluminum tube, a steel dowel, a twist nut from a pipe clamp, old shock cord and a plastic end cap. Oh, and a small bungie for the brake until I find one of those thick rubber bands.

Ride Notes

33F and another headwind. Gotta love that. I felt like a slug on the trip home.

4 way stops. While I appreciate the gesture, not really, don't wave me thru a stop. It's the law that I have to follow and I would hope that the tank drivers here in Denver would help me and other cyclists by following the same law.
