Ride home yesterday almost broke my personal record again at 13:20 mere seconds away from the record.
Rained like hell lest night and into the morning so I couldn't commute to work on the bike, doubtful I will at lunch so I "should hit the treadmill at work for a mile or two. Maybe..
Going to town tomorrow and I will be bringing in the bike to look at cx or road tires.
The way I see it I spend the vast majority of my time on the road up here so why not ditch the knobs for some skinny slicks, maybe I can find some in blue to match my socks ^^. When I get some more road capable tires I think I'll be itching to pull off some longer rides maybe do Hovland (15 miles one way) this weekend and Grand Marais (31 one way) later in the summer. Longer road rides hopefully will turn into improved stamina on the pedals for me.
If I go with more of a cx wider tire I should still be able to ride everything I do now, going more roadish will eliminate dirt options and cut out the hollow rock route. Either way I go I still have the slight cushy "locked" out front fork and semi comfy seat to make up for the lack of a buoyant tire.
