In the Neighborhood

73 degrees and overcast.



Since my wife took both sets of keys, I had to stay at home. I used the time to take off my fairing, checked the tightness of all nuts and bolts and sprayed silicone lubricant on the chain and gear sprockets. Took it out for a 3 1/2 mile ride. I started going farther down the hills and climbing them sure made the thighs burn When I got back I decided to to adjust my riding position. I moved the seat back by an inch and half reclined the back by an inch and brought the handlebars back by an inch or so. After taking it out for another mile and half I discovered these positions make the bike more stable and easier on the body.

5 miles in the "Quest for Fitness"
