Redwood Road. The hole is probably about 30 feet deep.

From the only stop yesterday. I was too busy knocking out my fastest ride since the TKR to stop and shoot pics.

Happy Father's day to all you dads! 35 miles with my wife on a sunny day in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia:

Belle Grove Plantation - like its sister plantation (Long Branch) about 10 miles to the east, it's a historical site today, but was a slave-worked plantation before the civil war.



Battle of Cedar Creek, one of six civil war battles in or around Winchester: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battles of Winchester, 1st and 2nd battles of Kernstown, battle of Cedar Creek.

Started the day off with a rainy gravel ride with some good old peanut buttery mud.

Out this morning — views looking more or less north and south from the same spot. Downtown LA is way out there in the distance and beyond that, the Pacific.

Well....this morning I just couldn't control myself. I had said no rides on the 41 year old, newly built up Krapf bike until it got the custom wheels from Peter on it. But I just couldn't resist this morning. Mainly just cruised around making sure all was well on it. Then for 2 mile section I use for testing I finally opened it up. Man did it take off, hit a top end of 31 mph and I felt like I needed another gear over the 53/13 max I had. Forgot to hit the inhaler so I was wheezing once the HR hit the upper 160's. This ol' beauty will certainly move!

The 1982 Krapf bike as ridden today with a 7 speed friction setup.



It was a beautiful day out.

Scenery:







Still a fair amount of snow on the high peaks. The building on the left is my PT clinic where I'm rehabbing the knee replacement.










Took the Krapf back and grab the Olmo that I had put new wheels on this morning and fixed some minor shifting issues. This was only the second time taking this out and I wanted to see how much faster it would run the speed section over what the Krapf did. Surprisingly, I couldn't get the same high avg speed nor get it over 29 mph despite better gearing. I was not tired, HR lower than the other run, and the legs felt Ok. The bike seemed to be holding me back, hmmmm.
