what a bear! i rode mb w/26 x 2.125" 45psi deep knobby trail tires, attempting to catch lost time (not be late) = in a hurry. i side tracked trying to load rear panniers and handlebar bag w/ gear from usual commuter-tourer (that has 25 x 700C 100psi tires, but drive-train still needs work). the ride was with a lite wind and rain each way. what a way to start the year, legs still feeling it!
