I saw 32 F here this morning on my ride.Day 313 ... partly sunny and 29 degrees for today's 53-mile ride.
Wow we're almost as warm as Florida lolI saw 32 F here this morning on my ride.
It was 51 on the way to the gym and I asked myself more than once why I didn’t take the car.Wow we're almost as warm as Florida lol
Wow. That is early for that low of a temp.I saw 32 F here this morning on my ride.
It was about 50 miles into Georgia and 20 miles inland. Jacksonville was 42 at dawn when I left.Wow. That is early for that low of a temp.
Ahh! I see.It was about 50 miles into Georgia and 20 miles inland. Jacksonville was 42 at dawn when I left.
The mornings here are supposed to be in the 20s here Friday through Monday. Afternoons in the 40s. Oh well it will give me a chance to try out some glove covers and overpants that will have to work well on the way to and from WinterStoc next month. I'd like to do 22,222 miles for 2022 but we'll see.Day 314 of riding...glorious day, 40 degrees and bright sunshine for today's 71 mile ride. The longest of the month (by 1 mile lol).
Only 244 miles shy of 20K for the year and 253 shy of 23K on the NC.
I'm 20 for 20 in December so far but Thursday, Friday & Saturday are going to be iffy as far as riding goes, after that should be smooth sailing until the 29th at least.
I’ve been thinking about conspicuity on my Xmax since this post. I’m definitely going to add Skene’s Photon Blasters up front if I keep it. But regarding mass, I had to leave my bikes out last night ( my solar array with battery backup is going in which I am more than extremely excited about). I snapped a couple of pics. Keeping it the spirit of the thread, riding to the gym!That is an interesting point. I’ve got a couple of thousand miles on the Xmax and haven’t noticed a difference in my conspicuity compared to the NC based on driver behavior. The NC is 87 x 33 x 50 and the Xmax is 86 X 31 X 55. Similar mass might have something to do with my experiences. But I see your point which is absolutely a valid consideration and I’m not in disagreement at all. My wife quit riding after a bad day where we were forced into the shoulder 3 times in one ride because of inattentive drivers.
That is fantastic! Thank you! I’ll look to see if they have black reflecting red. I think white light reflecting from the rear is illegal in Florida.Nice but what are those trees with the funny looking leaves?
With regards to conspicuity, you can get black 3M high viz tape that is practically invisible during the day but lights up whenever light hits it
They will have red reflecting red, but not black reflecting red.That is fantastic! Thank you! I’ll look to see if they have black reflecting red. I think white light reflecting from the rear is illegal in Florida.
Really appreciate your reply, i hope your problem will fix with new water pump. I ordered new o-rings last week after see your post and i will notice you the result soon, or probably next yearHi @Ahn , mine was a coolant leak. I was actually coming online to post an update. The leak returned within a couple hundred miles. Nothing to cause me to stop riding, just enough to notice - i.e., ride it almost600-Mike's I'm a s weekend and only needs a coupe ounces to to off the reservoir Investigating further, I realized the leak was coming from the weep hole. I guess just another item gone bad because previous owner left it sitting for a coupe years or so. Anyway, after the realization, I ordered a new water pump assembly from Partzilla.com ($258, delivered within a week). I'm leak-free with about 300-miles on it.
Wow. That is huge!Nice but what are those trees with the funny looking leaves?
