Last Night's Ride

For my birthday, it was a few weeks ago for those of you that missed it. I'm still accepting gifts and $$ in case you were concerned. But anyhow I got a new HID light which I finally got to use last night on a late evening ride with DEA. We headed out for our local ride and had a very good time. Did some hills and have found a new challenge for us for the season, to clean the Nasty. A very fun ride to go down, but pretty technical and steep in spots to go back up. SO the goal is to clean it before the other does.


Light was great, my first ride with an HID. I used to think my normal halogen lighting system was pretty good, I was in the dark ages. Still need to get the mount tweaked for the best angle, but this should be the nuts for 24 & 12 HR racing this summer.

Garmin Edge Summary Data

Hope to sneak out during work for a good afternoon ride in the heat tomorrow, any takers?? Heading out around 2 I think. Long weekend too, hopefully leads to some long rides.

Its all good....
