20k Ride.

Just got back from trying out the tuned up bike. Rode 20k and it was gliding, sprints were so smooth and getting to 40 was almost effortless, well, just about ;). I took the bike lanes to the mall then rode through the park for a while to test it out. I also got to try out the airzound horn when a pickup pulled out from the intersection about 30 feet ahead, cutting me off, while I was cruising in the bike lane pushing 50, then he decided to stop halfway in the lane when he saw me. I was about 3 feet from his bumper when I stopped, thought I was going to have to jump the curb, that would have been great for my wheels that were just trued...Not. Besides the close call, it was a great ride, looking forward to tomorrow, hopefully going for a long ride. Anyways, till then.

Update

Just got the bike tuned up and I'm ready for a ride. I got some work done on my rear hub, chain tightened, and the wheels trued. It's been a while, many rides, but not a lot of time to update the blog, the bike computer is currently resting at 405 km. I'll be posting again later with an update of the ride I'll be doing in a little while. Till then.
