SART with Gina and I'm Tarred!

Day after climbing GMR and I'm feeling it! Must be old age ha ha! Today was 35 miles at 16.3 MPH average. Gina did very well after a month off of the bike. She said she was tired but when we hit the end of the ride, she sure took off heading to the truck leaving me far behind!

Ran into Joaquin racking up his bike at Edna Park. Got his new frame, Focus. Put some sweet components on it and he looks real happy!

Homeless near accident call: Freakin' idiot on a bike with an unleashed dog. We were just hitting the descent on the steep Garden Grove underpass when a homeless guy pulling a little trailer was up ahead. He had a dog when we saw him at Edna Park where we had stopped. As soon as we started the descent., hid dog comes running full throttle from the upper bank and down the concrete side. WTF! Dog slams on his brakes and goes sliding down the concrete with his claws digging in big time. I have no idea how he stopped but another foot and he would have had to jump on Gina's back as she headed down!

Can you image a dog hopping on your back running at 15 mph or so ?! Gina would have went down for sure. That's pretty dangerous and those worthless fukks don't give a damn! :-/

It got windy and my legs got tired so I let Jose pull for a while!

Not many riders on the trail. One small group and a few solo riders. Homeless problem out there has really scared the decent people away!

She tired but look at her go!

Joaquin's new bike, pieced together.

Green chain! :-O

Hard case water bottle storage thingy!

DI2 battery

Cool handlebars!

Summer ain't over yet!

Ad if If I wasn't tired enough already. Gina made me roast 38 more pounds of Hatch New Mexico chile tonight.  2 1/2 hours in front of a hot grill! :-P
