Well, today is the last ride before the Spooktacular ride. Mostly to stretch the legs and test the electronics. My impressions are that they are going to work just fine. Mostly in regard to the navigation situation. I'll use the MP3 speaker to play music and broadcast directions from my smartphone via bluetooth using the Komoot app. It's not perfect. It seems to have problems with turn-around points, otherwise is accurate. I have to remember to keep all electronics charged to max before the start of the ride. The GoPro camera can be run non-stop and have sufficient battery and storage. I installed the low mount for the Garmin GPS. I think it made the screen more readable. I am going to bring an extra bag under the downtube. I'll put food and sport drink powder in there. I installed a new rear tire. The front tire appears to have sufficient tire tread, so I didn't swap it out. The Garmin watch is working like a charm, as long as I have it charged to full.

The legs feel good. The joints feel good. Sit bones are cooperating. I bought a new pair of shorts from Action Sports yesterday for $50. A bargain and will be used for big rides like the Spooktacular. They're the same model as my current shorts. The chamois on the training shorts seem to be having wear. Will keep an eye on it and send it back for a replacement if need be.

Other notes. I have everything lined up for the weekend. Now I just have to get things organized. I'm good to go...
