Sun is Out

5:15 AM alarm goes off... hit the singletrack by 6:00 after a warmup ride up the bluff. Other folks had the same idea. It's the start of summer and the sun is out at 5:00 AM, making pre-work rides easier this time of year.

I had the day off, so I rode the whole loop and back home by 8:00.

First ride on the new Ergon grips. I am liking these grips - they take the pressure off of my hands. No more ache after the first 15 minutes. Also switched to a Bonty Big Sweep bar, not sure but this may be too wide at 640mm. Wonder if it can be cut down?

Next up, new seatpost needed so that I can take the current post as the "tag-along" post and permanently install the trail a bike hitch kit there.

Not sure if I am getting faster, but I am feeling better.
