I brought the bike to the Gorge with me on the spring trip, but the wind was great and I sailed 8 days of 8. The bike never made it out of the Van.
Spencer used the bike for his Triathlon (FACT Class) June 21, 2009. My rear tire was flat again. We put in a couple of tubes with the tire going flat each time. Eventually changed the tire as well - and were very careful putting in the tube. Pre-inflating the tube seemed to help. It worked fine for his race - he couldn't believe how fast it was compared to his mountain bike....
Later in the afternoon, June 21, I rode from home to Hwy 13 and back. 26km. There was a headwind going to the north so my average speed was only around 20kph. On the way back I was going 35kph most of the time, and hit 55 just before the last hill. Made it back in half the time - fun....
June 26, I road North on 833. I rode for about 1/2 hour and then turned back. Again, there was a headwind for the first part. The return took me only 15 minutes. The first half was a struggle, but the return was lots of fun. Only about 20k total - but had to get to Mike's 50th birthday party.
Total this year so far 76km.
