I can't help, Marshall, as I haven't ridden enough in those conditions to be able to tell if my chain lube is working.
Me: I think this says enough about my ride home.
Made roasted tomatillo and cilantro salsa this morning and started some chicken marinating in olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper and oregano. Enchiladas are on the menu tonight.
Nice Dan, how packed was it along the way? Hopefully you stopped a few times.
Me: finished mowing the yard in brutal heat. Took a 25 mile bike ride later in the day in worse conditions. My Garmin said the average temp was over 90. Thank god for the new AC.
Very cool.
I got out for a terrific twilight ride last night (left the house at 7:30) and will be trying to do more of that as it gets hotter and more humid over the next two months. I feel wiped today so I'll probably wait till tomorrow to get in another ride and not push it.
The tech in it seems pretty old (it sold in mid 2008) but if you don't care about the bleeding edge the reviews generally seem to be pretty positive and $400 isn't outrageous.
sounds like a high risk, low reward purchase if you ask me. So I would only do it if you are trying to help your brother out. And I'm still not sure it would be worth $400.
Yeah, back in the day I had somewhere in excess of a 36" vertical leap and when I was lifting regularly I could squat more than most of the football team. My upperbody is a mixed bag. My shoulders are strong, my chest is comparably weak. And my core could definitely use work these days.
