After giving a lot of thought about my knee pains, I decided to raise saddle 1/8"... made all the difference, not only did my knee only ached a tiny bit I felt much stronger! Go figure, it's this aging body is so finicky. Albert made this another awesome ride, I took him on another new route with mostly new roads to him. He loved the route except the heavy and fast traffic that rode near and over the white line not giving us much space and violating the NJ safe passing zone on Magnolia Rd! This route had it all, some nice hills, long flats, very nice paved roads, change of scenery (but it was hard to noticed as we were heavily concentrating on the road) and Mr. Wind! Our only stops were when we met up, departed and at traffic lights. The adventure continues...
