It's a new bike….almost…

My Bike Friday is running superbly. Arguably it’s even better than it was new. Mostly that would be because since late 2008, when I took delivery, I’ve learned a lot more about proper fit and keeping a bike in tune. In addition the new Ergon grips really go that last mile in making this bike really, really comfortable. I’m tempted, if I can swing it, to do a really long ride tomorrow. Okay…for you randonneurs perhaps not so long. But if I can I’d like to the 80 out to Haleiwa. That’s a good day for me (and a lovely ride to boot).
Today I took in the Rainbow baseball game (as I do most home games) and watched them defeat the 28th ranked Wichita State Shockers. They’ve been fixtures out here for years and are always a pleasure to watch. Thankfully this time around we were the pleasures to watch (still too many errors) beating them by a wide margin today.
The I took a ride up into Manoa looking for at least a little climbing. I only found about 300 feet but if I add it to my new daily loop (it’s already part of it), I’ll have something I can do regularly in training for RAGBRAI.
And here’s the cool fly-by from Map My Ride:

Aloha!
