day 4 with test on 5 (today)

Here is a late pic of the tire clearance and brakes. I had forgotten what a PITA those '70s quick release mechs were. I swapped out the seat, bars and (adjustable) stem for comfort. Which the 10 mile test run today displayed after dropping the tire pressure to 75 psi. Handles very well on pavement. Looking for a break in the weather to get the finish mileage in. Being stuck with the 13/28 Suntour freewheel I used a 39/45/52 Shimano 600 triple with the Suntour FD. Not ideal for these hills, but hey I'm supposed to be in training right? And the YMCA gym is closed of course.
