Gene and I spent some time tweaking his bike yesterday, replacing the badly worn saddle with one gifted from Atanas, and raising his handlebars by .75”. It seems the mods worked pretty well - he tore up the place this morning! He wanted to get in a solid workout, so we decided to forego a foray up to Malba, avoiding the endless interruptions of stop signs and traffic lights, instead opting for several continuous runs up and down the CIP path. In so doing, he showed me a better albeit bumpier way around the upper path, running alongside the CIP. It was a spirited ride for sure under mostly clear skies, blessedly low humidity, and temps in the mid-eighties. The early start at 9:30 gave us a jump on the promised 90+ degrees, set to arrive by afternoon. Even with the strong WNW winds of 15, it was a really great, strenuous ride.
