It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, which brought out beach goers in droves. Lots of cars parked along the side of the road, blocking access to the shoulder. Which meant fighting with motor vehicles for control of the curb lane, and making for a stressful time for Nell. She soldiered through, though. Fourth straight month riding a 200k with Nell. She went out the gate in a hurry and kept it up, basically all the way out to Carpenteria. Slowed a little bit toward the end, but really did great overall! Huge improvement in time. Averaged 16.5 mph for the first 60 miles. 33 min. stopped time at the turn-around (including pictures!) Mechanicals: 52 minutes! Nell's front flat at mile 8.2: 19 min at Zuma Nell's rear flat at mile 116.3: slow change! 33 min That accounts for 1 hr 25 min out of the total 2:20 stopped time, leaving 55 min of misc. stopped time. Lots of room for improvement still, but LOTS better than before!
