Hope shortly to make it to church for (first part of) (probably interminable, knowing the Russian-derivative Orthodox) St. Andrew's Canon, first (full) day of Lent. Eastward and Southward. Winds SE and SSE 20 to 30 -- eeek! But downhill -- just hope they don't switch on me for the return. 72" fixed. No load, just the wind, of which we can expect another 2-3 months of strong ones, then back to the usual just plain windy.
Speaking of loads: I've carried 45 lb (up that 12% hill, too! Which it was only 4/10 mile, but in a 67" gear) on my ex-Motobecane (now doing hundreds of miles brevets under E Norris). What's y'all's record? On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 3:51 PM, Joan Oppel <[email protected]> wrote: > My TOTAL focus was on my beloved Bleriot.
