Re: Re: [RBW] Bleriot does nearly a ton of errands
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?

My TOTAL focus was on my beloved Bleriot.

[RBW] Bleriot does nearly a ton of errands
About 40 lbs of clothes hauled to Goodwill, then to Home Depot for furnace filters and light bulbs, then to Performance bike shop (sorry but they did have the exact SPF arm covers I was advised to purchase for an early spring bike trip in Death Valley), and then the closest place to grab something to eat was Trader Joe's and my friend Tom and I had a picnic - which I forgot to record. Beautiful sunny sunny, 62 degree day here in Arlington VA - about 18 miles in total.Can't help quoting Manny - his phrase is perfect: Pictures prove it happened!!http://www.flickr.com/photos/30856149@N04/6936274583/in/set-72157629469604111Joan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
