Hi Mojo Slim
Thanks for the offer. The organized rides are out of Kingwood TX and they average about 20 mph. I bought a new longer quill for the Trek 1420 to put me in a more upright position. I can use that for the road work i need to do to get my average speed higher. They are rebuilding the road, what they call in Texas a farm to market road, to five lanes. It will be 5 lanes wide with a full width sholder. I will be able to teach my mus_culs , or lack of them, (hee hee) how to work.
I now have a camel back. I loadeded it and it weighed in at 21 lbs and hauled it for 40 miles on the Globe Carmel 700. That was another adventure because of a construction zone I had to walk the bike through. Then a flat 3 miles from home.
