Another beautiful day but our Goldilocks weather is about to end, with high heat and humidity expected over the weekend. We could set a new record high on Sunday. Hopefully it will be short-lived.

Second commute on my Sequoia, and I was able to get it more dialed in. I removed the platform pedals with toe-clips and replaced them with SPDs, which was an immediate improvement. I also removed the rear rack and installed a Carradice Pendle seatbag with Bagman rack. It looks much cleaner and the weight is centered better. Ordered some new brake hoods from my bike shop, as the 30-year-old hoods that were on the levers did not survive the installation process very well. Finally, I installed a computer, being the data junkie that I am. My average speed and mileage were way off on the commute to work, so I found a manual on-line and reset the computer.
