POST WORK RIDE

Thu, 18 Aug 2005 by Jim Douglas

It is finally starting to move out of summer here in the Midwest.  I had to finish up the ride last night in the dark and with armwarmers on.  Now the armwarmers thing doesn't mean a whole lot yet as it is still relatively warm all things considered, but it's just not 90 deg. at 8 pm any more, so it feels quite a bit colder.  It's really the whole "finishing the ride in the dark" thing that I am no so fond of....  
 
So last night's ride took me north of the city again and out of downtown on the Monon trail (The Monon is a "rails to trails" walking / running / riding path that starts in downtown Indianapolis and runs out to the northern suburbs).  It's not much for a training route, but is a good way to safely get from the city to places where you can ride fairly safely.  After getting off at the northern most part, I took a little loop that another one of the guys in warranty and customer service and I do when we have the chance.  I ended up feeling so good that I rode it again after finishing up the first time.  Central Indiana is notoriously flat and this ride isn't really any different, so there isn't a lot of excitement save sprint against myself for road signs....  Which I have come to enjoy, if for no other reason than I always win! 
 
The FP 40's are holding up just fine.  No real issues to speak of thus far, granted, I don't have a whole lot of miles on them, but I've not been easy on them by any means.  Today will be a day off and a chance to rest the legs after some good efforts last night.  Talk to you all soon. 
Ciao for now.....
