I've been quite pleased in the past when I manage to get on all of my ride able bikes in a given week. Today I managed to get significant, purposeful use out of both my Riv's and it feels even better. I'm full of admiration for how well these bikes perform, and I feel self-affirmed in the manner in which I've built them up. Great day for riding bikes!
Regular commute in on the Saluki with a pitstop by the Jefferson Memorial/Tidal Basin. My sweet colored twine courtesy of Ocean Air Cycles (thanks Rob!) needs to be tightened up a bit. I ended up doing the 14ish mile roundtrip almost back to back after an appliance repair guy suddenly became available and called me just as I made it into the office. Couple emails later I turned around and biked right back home... so it was less a commute than an unnecessarily directed early morning out-and-back. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Rsru5hZtP9M/VeZOJ_U0MDI/AAAAAAAAJr4/_APRybpL0qk/s1600/IMG_20150901_074947960.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-afBpdsJAFYc/VeZOJ6kzo_I/AAAAAAAAJr4/JTnMNQX2l1g/s1600/IMG_20150901_075135785.jpg> 10ish mile, 1 hour trail and singletrack ride at Wakefield Park and Lake Accotink aboard the mighty Bombadil. Pictured here alongside Lake Accotink, this was a fantastic, meandering ride with no particular agenda other than to tire myself out and enjoy riding in a more natural setting. I've got an annoying intermittant rear wheel noise going on that is driving me a bit nuts... doesn't seem to be chain, I removed the kickstand pre-ride, and all the spokes appear to be well tensioned. It may be tire rub but it is oddly intermittant, usually comes when pushing hard and it sounds like metal on frame somewhere. Can't find any new scuffs or dings either. I need to ride with a buddy soon to try and isolate it more. Or else I'll just start replacing parts and see... <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cwIcaiz-_8E/VeZOJ6STY5I/AAAAAAAAJr4/17EGh8tNopY/s1600/IMG_20150901_185930761.jpg> Makes me want to do it again tomorrow... and I just might! :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
