Day 17
Today I started with a lunch ride, going back out on the road for the first time since the July 1 road ride to
@jmanic & his grill where I eradicated a 2+ hour calorie deficit in 15 minutes. Today was just to get out and try some new glasses. I have been experimenting with this lately, as I got something in my eye a month ago and scratched it up pretty badly. Anyway, it was a low-key meandering road ride.
Then tonight I tried a new bike!
@jdog sent a Santa Cruz Tallboy 27+ with
@Kirt last week and I got a chance to try that tonight. I need a few more rides on this to get a proper feel for it but my initial thought is that I am not sure what to make of it yet. I need to try it at more places and get a better feel for it. It's really upright, that's my first impression right now. Anyway, excited to start riding around some new all-around fun bikes.

Total on the day was 2:29:27. The number of miles is pointless as we are mixing road and mtb.
