Gravel riding, new bike, and a birthday
My demo bike for this season showed up, got built up, and was promptly ridden all over on the gravel roads near Ankeny. It’s a beautiful Specialized Tricross, black with a pretty neat paint job. No pics at the moment, but I’ll fix that fairly soon. I had Wednesday and Thursday off, so I took full advantage of the great weather we had. I got in about 2 hours each day, no idea on distances because I haven’t mounted a computer on the bike yet, it’s that new. Thursday was also my birthday, always a good day for a bike ride. Didn’t really do anything too fancy, went to eat at Ohana Steakhouse, rode my bike, and slept in a little. It was my 26th birthday, so no huge milestone to celebrate. I guess that’s all I’ve got for now. Pics of the bike later.
