Is that because it's red...

'cause we all know about red bikes being the fasterest!

I did pass a state trooper with her yesterday! That and the wife doesn't like her among other things. Truth be told I wish she was black with gold kashima coated forks .

Boy, do these studded tires ever dig Through the snow!
I can't believe I went through that 4 times!

And if you believe I made those ruts I have some oceanfront property for sale as well!

However, there were a few places like this that I did ride through, and if my shoulder wasn't so sore I may have given those ones a go. But walking mode is a cool feature that is worth keeping one's proficiency up.

An interesting sight from today's ride... I came across the Farah statue in the front yard of a local home. Not sure that my wife would go for it...

Poor woman has deformature of the spine. Must be painful.

I came across this house which is in the process of being raised to add another floor. My dad did this to our first house ( a one story bungalow) when I was a child. It is not uncommon to have this done to old houses around here.

I bought these FSA Metropolis bars today which are like the ones that many Moustache bikes have with 25 degree backsweep These have 46 degree backsweep. I will try them out on my Charger which has mountain bike style FSA Afterburner straighter bars. We shall see. UPDATE: I will keep these on for sure. They are so much more comfortable that I did not even bother transferring over the Ergon GP grips.

After an 80 km ride today I can safely say these bars give my hands a more natural riding position than the FSA Afterburners with no downside that I can discern. My hands feel less pressure where the the wrist meets the arm. The grip postion is more like the French grip in drumming, with the thumbs on top instead of the German style grip where the knuckles are on top They are only slightly more upright but retain a somewhat forward position. They fit through narrower gaps also. So two thumbs up here!

Sport and XP are now Uber Eats workhorses! XP just had new 11-34 and new SRAM deraileur, hydraulic brakes, added along with front suspension and BMX handlebars. Sport mostly stock except for Suntour seatpost and swept back handlebars. I rode XP yesterday and the upgrades make a nice improvement.

I captured this neighborhood image on my way back home from an impromptu evening ride.

Today's ride and someone's homage to VW.

Cool. That looks like a Subaru Sambar cabover conversion based on one of many micro pickups that prowl the Japanese countryside. My wife’s late father owned a similar Kei class truck but his was a Mitsubishi.
