Ya lil speedster on a bike! You will do just fine! I am sure there will be a few new cuss words at the end of the ride (or perhaps during) LOL

Not yet. Maybe tomorrow. I'll be doing another ride and I might and try and do a longer one (up to 50KM?). I don't mind doing front wheel repairs but rear wheels are a PITA.

I know what ya mean about rear wheels, i hate changing it no matter what. Shad changed the tires on my mountain bike last weekend (since it is still hard for me to do...with the shoulder). Hy put more of a road tire on the bike.

Ohhh, you do have that power @ renaming threads...hmmm...LOL

I didn't get a chance to go yesterday so I went today and managed to crank out 43KM. Had a nice headwind for the first half and it was glorious on the way back. Hermosa Beach was getting ready for Halloween Parties at the bars and the sites were... uhmmm... rather extra decorated and nice to look at.

I'd go again tomorrow but unlikely able to because of laundry to be done. But I think K and I will bike to Old Navy and a few other places. Anyways, likely end up with 125KM for the week (good start). My butt does hurt but that's ok. It's a good hurt.

Nice job Linus! Yeah that headwind can be tiring at times. I think it would be so cool to bike near a beach!

I can remember the first few times I rode, but it did not take long for my butt to get use to it...lol
