-Daily life for a bicycle is simple and relaxing. A few of it really is work, but lots of this is certainly good. Every day pressing a bicycle up a high shitty hill that is loose probably much better than being into the town.

-Mileage for the journey had been 144 kilometers and about 11,000ft gain 8,000 loss. I did son’t bring a computer that is cycling the figures are simply a distraction quite often, and I also damaged the cable and also haven’t fixed it. I’m enjoying maybe maybe maybe not giving a shit in regards to the mileage, that will be inconsequential in my opinion now as I’m maybe not utilising the odometer along with a paper map (therefore itsn’t necessary). Additionally no cause that is strava’s yet another thing to screw with, also it kills battery pack. We want to get off electricity on these trips.

-I want my Safari that is white Bill to be tan

-I need certainly to double or triple wrap the flats to my handlebars

-Had one flat (rear) from the 395 on Saturday. Couldn’t see just what achieved it but I’m presuming it had been ply cable from all of the retreads in the neck. I’ve had a million flats from those. I happened to be riding on WTB Nano 700?40’s at around 75% highest pressure that is recommended whatever that figure is. Coulda used my Schwalbe that is bulletproof Mondials nevertheless they don’t do this great on dust, specially having a bicycle holding any load. The Nanos had been great as always on dust, though sometimes just a little vague because of the front load.
