I got the shiny bike very dirty today.
We are having a very unusually warm weekend here in Northern Illinois. Sunny and in the high 40s! I actually got to ride in shorts and just a long sleeve jersey for once!
I had planned on a 30 mile loop that I had done earlier this summer, but ended up missing a turn and ended up on a very steep, very sloppy gravel road. Fun times on 28c tires and 40-28 bailout gear
Oh, and this bike really needs compressionless brake housing. The brakes are really more of a kind suggestion than anything, which makes things interesting.
Ended up with 32 miles, and new plans to tear down, clean, and overhaul the old SLT over the next few days.
