Meanhwile.......back at the farm.....
I lost 33 lbs. (that's as much as my touring bike). My acceleration, top end, and hill climbing has improved so much I almost don't believe the computer speeds. Then I just picture riding with my touring bike strapped to my back, and then taking it off. That gets my brain to accept the new reality.
I had to ask my friend the other night if we were really going this fast.
Cripes......... Bailey is only 30 lbs.
Life does not get any better.
