Turn the knob to 11

Scale

Sunday was a colder version of today. I headed south on the Flyte but not before exchanging words with a groundhog trapped on an ice floe. Okay, it's actually a muskrat, but he's related to Jimmy or Phil or what ever rodent du jour is responsible for the weather we're having. No I won't sing any "Captain & Tenielle."

So today I went out on the Flyte again, Not so much because I wanted more SS time, I grabbed the Seven at first, but a flat front tire and no spare tubes in the house changed the plan.

First I had to go vote.
There was plenty of parking at Takumi.
Do 29er tires make my Weiner look smaller?
The Flyte rides like it's on rails...
I went out north past the American Family Insurance facility and came back on the rail line. The aluminum fork isn't bad, it helped that I was running 35psi in my ghetto Stans wheels. I like riding on the rail line mainly because it makes "rough trails" seem smoother. The 36x17 wasn't low enough to get into a good rhythm but it did make me strain a bit.

Dude the Mini Weiner comment made my laugh out loud! What happened to your Pink Ferrous?

It's sharing the King rear wheel with the Flyte until the rebuild kit shows for my/your Hayes rear wheel.
