Well, in contrast, I pre-rode the "Circumnavigation of Baltimore" today. Made it back before dark with no problem. Very nice ride.
I'll make a couple of changes and it's ready for Jan. 3rd.
I'll be there on my bubble-gum & Scotch taped bike--hopefully.
Speaking of... I rode in with no incidence (i.e., no exploding carbon frame). Everything is holding together, so far, but I'm staying sensitive to any wonkiness that starts to develop. The failures, in my mind, would be something with the top tube or seat stay(s) after the seat tube separates. The stuff I did -should- keep it in alignment for a while.
