It was 61 degrees this morning and foggy starting out in the Housatonic River Valley. Needed to add a front light due to the limited sight distance, so that slowed me out of the gate.Climbed out of the fog 3/4s of the way up Pond Brook.
Stopped again on Secor Rd to take pictures of some nice flowers but their hue changed when I took off my glasses. Will try to had it back articificially.
I got home this evening in about the same amount of time. I am learning how to descend hills without using the brakes by standing up out of the saddle and letting my weight stand on the pedals really will slow you down. Barely used the brakes on the way home. In fact before leaving, I checked the weather and it said possible chance of a thunder shower. Upon getting home we got a few rumbles.
Took the cranks off the Bianchi this evening but missing the tool to extact the bottom bracket. Have to swing by the Bicycle Goodie Shop in Bethel on my way home tomorrow and get the tool that I need. If I cant add more grease, it looks like I'll be hitting eBay for a new bottom bracket.
Also, I am liking riding fixed so much now that I am not selling the Bianchi at this point. I am going to build up the Fuji and then I will see which I like more and sell the other.
