I can’t help it, I love riding this bike in the summer.

I haven’t been posting for a few days.  Why?  Because I’ve been riding!  Long friggin’ rides in the hot sun to prepare for some serious mileage.   A few pics from the last few days.

Rode along the C&O Towpath again, HOT.  Barge was under way …

C&O Barge

The scenery along this trail is intoxicating.

At the Great Falls Park snack area on the C&O Towpath, getting ready for the big one.

No, not the hand gesture that I sometimes get from car drivers.  Pushups.  Pushups on one finger.

My wife, my son, the C&O Towpath, bikes, life is good.

I had a great ride on the Rush with the change of wheels.  The cog on the changed rear wheel was creaking with the chain that was on the bike, so I changed it with the cog from the old wheel and all is well.  Silky smooth.  The changed wheels are very light, and I like that they’re 32mm.  Solid ride, even on packed gravel.

The rear axle finally gave up the ghost on the Rush.  I swapped out the wheels from my Fillmore.  They are very light, work ok, look ok, but I’m probably still going to get something else going on for wheels for this frame.

Rush With Different Wheels

Looong ride out to Herndon today.  Heavy head-wind, return ride very fast.
