Hot Hawes

Middle of the day ride for me at Hawes, I must say I was surprised how warm it was, lots of sweat!

Calm and warm

The calm before the storm

Singlespeed tag

Went out on the standard punisher for Saturday, when I made my way onto secret I ran into another biker, we both insisted the other go and I got him to go first, as he rolled in I saw it was a soma singlespeed, it turns out he was on my same route and we followed each other for a good 30 minutes, I should have stopped and got his info but we shared mutual stoke without words. The bike feels so so much better, glad it's fixed!

Proper temps

Thursday a little winter decided to show up, still shorts and short sleeves for sure, was nice to finally feel nice and dry and warmed by the sun.

Night Night

I got myself up nice and early, would rather sleep but my day is so much better with a ride in, apparentyl 2/3 battery on the new battery is enought to go out after 38 minutes into the 90 minute ride. I guess it won't last as long as I would hop but I did get 2.5 night rides on one charge os not bad. The rest of the ride was struggle with low light only having a 700 lumen on the bars that really needs to be on my head but I made it work, almost quit, glad I rode it out.

More of those please

I got to ordering on Wednesday the new freehub, I ordered from thunder mountain since they are in Sedona and it might get here fastest, I paid free shipping and it was at my door next day! I put it in and bam! noise gone, thank the good lord! I was anxious to test it and when the boys swim got canceled due to excessive hw I put his momma in charge and off I went! I was supose to meet a friend but that didn't work out so I took a go for RMR, lot of lights out there, was a nice sight, was dark as night but nice double dip!

They hear me rolling

Man, after scratching my head on this one I realized I put too much faith in the shop that I had work on my hub while I was on vacation, lesson learned, do my own stuff. Anywho took apart the hub and found a mess, bearing disenegrated and that's the cause of the intemittent racket the last few months. Ordered a new freehub body, come to find out my other wheelset had the exact issue and explains that problem it had!New pedal day! the deity deftraps are so so good, favorite pedal so far, wide and no bearing bulge and grippy!
