Bike tales…

Well….as you know, I have been working on restoring the bike to a more usable condition…about a year ago, the fiberglass frame repair that I did a few years back started to fail and that made the seat loose that annoyed me but I didn’t think much about it until it got really bad over the winter…so, I used the rest of the repair kit last week to fix it and I am so surprised by how much of  a difference it made….it seems like I put about 25% less work into going faster with the seat now being stable again….and it now changes direction again with just a little shift of my hips and that makes riding it fun again…so much fun that I am in pain right now from bombing around and doing the full 15 miles today…..and I found and fixed the squeaks, too, so it is silent running again…I think it irritates the people on the trail since I sneak up on them in pure stealth mode…kind of fun to see them jump when I come by…..already over 150 miles so far this spring….heading for 3,000….
