I've had two nice rides over the last two days.
Yesterday was 25 fast miles on my SLT. I spread the rear triangle and threw in a nice lightweight wheelset. I believe it is somewhere in the 1400-1600 gram range.
A lightweight wheelset and fast tires really livens this bike up! It's a little tricky shifting accurately across the 9 speed cassette with friction levers, but certainly possible with more practice.
The trees and the bean fields are starting to change colors in earnest.
Today was 17 miles on my fixed gear Grand Jubile. Nice warm and calm evening. Trying to make the most of these kinds of days before they are gone.
