My new Wahoo computer stopped working on the second ride. Screen is borked, won't display anything. Hope they're good about honoring warranties.

Just to update -- after explaining the situation, I sent the defective unit back to Wahoo (they paid for shipping), and they're sending me a replacement now. Still kind of annoyed that I got a dud but it happens from time to time I guess. Getting it replaced has been easy, so no complaints there.

Painfully average.
I've heard a lot of similar stories about Wahoo. They have bad QC but great customer service it seems.

Today I finally put this back together
And took it out just before dark for its first ride. Just meant to check the seat height etc...
I ended up doing 3 miles of canal banks.

A friend of mine gave me this cool pepper plant for my birthday a while back and I finally took some of the peppers and am starting some hot sauce.
The batch has a 4 cloves of garlic, 1 green onion, 8 of these little red (not super spicy) peppers, 2 dried Bhut Jolokia peppers, a few sprinkles of gochujaru flakes (for color mainly) 3 sichuan peppercorns, salt, rice wine vinegar and a splash of white whiskey. My plan is to let it sit for a while and then blend and maybe cook, I usually cook my hot sauces but I might try it uncooked this time depending on how it tastes.

Today I, well, a few days ago really, ordered a new freewheel because the one I had decided it wanted to be free....in both directions.
Needless to say it made pedaling an issue.

it was an ACS from your shop - served me well for a little over a year - never had that happen before. My new one from y'all is supposed to arrive today.

Today I got stung by something on my left knee while riding. I didn’t manage to see what it was. About 3 miles left on a 3 hour ride.
Luckily I don’t really have much of a reaction but it did hurt! 😕 Funny, it’s been years since I recall that happening.

Found an old California 1030 turntable while out for a ride.
getting home was interesting, but I did it.
it turns and has a needle. The amp and speakers work through an Aux input to play music out of my iTunes library.
Hank Mobley and Ray Brown are coming through Smooth!

Today I rode and didn’t get stung! Glorious fall weather with strong winds out of the west. A wild ride on SS with some hard pushes into the wind and flying along with a tailwind! 👍

Today I got out and rode laps around my neighborhood in the dark with battery lights burning on a near-closed course. I’ve been doing a lot of 8-10 mile rides like that between 5:15 and 6:00 a.m. so that i can go do real rides on the weekends, or maybe it’s to continue getting rid of the spare tire around my midsection - but the real truth is I’m bein’ all zen and riding my bike so that I can ride my bike.

Today I picked up a new Aventon Cordoba single-speed. Upgraded the drops to a nice set of FSA Vision bullhorns, need to swap out the terrible pedals it came with still.
