The Mrs. & I are out for a ride today as the weather looks like it'll cooperate. Kinda stoked as I received an email yesterday from my youngest boy that he & his wife will be here by the 27th from NM as they're doing a camping roadtrip visiting places like Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, Mt. Hood etc. ...haven't seen him in 4+ yrs! So my Saturday will be spent twirling spanners on the XR in re-assembly mode....& then kicking on the SuMo to bring it back to life. The goal is to have both bikes Turn-Key ready for his arrival as this will be most of his inheritance....that way he can enjoy them NOW & not have to wait until I kick the bucket & have to wade through the red tape BS, taxes, etc. that are sure to ensue w/ the way this world is evolving......on another note: Definitely gonna have a spin on the bike today.

Gonna have friends over tomorrow, so I was helping the Mrs. tidy up the house a bit.... & I found a few of my long lost CD's I've been looking for!
Made my day to listen to some SRV again!!
...as well as some older Satch....back when he still had hair.

Was it on fire?
Not quite.... I was working @ a bike shop doing mainly tire work. One day a regular well known customer that was in tight w/ the owner & a regular racer... he shows up on a PC looking for a new rear tire....the boss locates one in the back for him, but I couldn't start on the swap before he took it to the parking lot to wear out what was left of the existing rear tire..... Smoke Show from Hell!...clear down to where you could hear the chords scraping on the inner fender.....POP!! I bet the neighbors thought the shop was on fire though.

Just a Bulbous Barge waiting for a spanner-phobic chap to piss & moan all over it....
Gotta admit though, I've seen 1 of those do a Mean smoke-show before.

Woke up to SNOW here on May 1st.... had to rinse the white stuff off the dish before the internet would work.
Plus side-- the sun's breaking through & some blue sky is making itself known,

Finally got the led outta my arse & swapped seats yesterday...& since my fender set I ordered hasn't arrived yet, I fiddled w/ the dropper seat post...got it working properly & went ahead & swapped the rear fender off the Mongoose to see how it fit. It ended up working pretty well even w/ the longer wheelbase. So, off to Clark creek once again...
Weather was a bit chillier this time but no rain. The ergo's were definitely improved...was able to get full leg extension now w/ the seat post @ correct height...still gotta make a slight adjustment w/ the seat pitch....nuts were feeling it on the way back....lol
Found a few places this time that I hadn't noticed before, that weren't fenced off or marked w/ No Trespassing or Hunting signs that made it more accessible to the water's edge.
It's a gradual climb all the way out to about the 7 mile mark....then it starts to get a bit steeper....by then I was still in 9th gear & was getting a bit knackered...(feelin' my age more & more)...lol Didn't have enough left in my tank to descend to retry in a lower gear...plus I'd used up over half the battery.
I made it up just over halfway of this incline & decided to take in the views, give my legs a break for a minute, before descending as I looked for other photo op's on the opposite of the road.
All in all, made it a few miles further than last time & got to test out the ergo's a bit....w/ only a few adjustments to be dialed in. I'll eventually get some more led out & get the LH electronic shifter installed & tuned in...which should make those steeper ascends a bit easier.
