Had a great day today. A lot of exploring my local area. found loads of paths and trails i never new about before and finding so many shortcuts and new places to ride.
Made an Easter egg hunt through the woods for the sad bored neighborhood kids. Made the traffic flow one way to avoid crossing paths in close proximity.
On the heels of my two stellar rides earlier this week, tonight was a shitshow from start to finish. Forgot to charge two of the battery packs so had to cut my ride short, chunked one of my Arctic wheels, and lost both sets of SoundSport somewhere along the way.
Crawled home, grabbed the Sexway and retraced my steps exactly, and found my headphones at least. But so full of fail. Makes the good rides all the better, though. I blame Andrew for this and also for global warming.
It was a cool cloudy day here in Missouri… only got up to 55 or so…
Which was really nice for riding.
It’s gonna be in the 80s later this week so I will be missing this.
Got 3 rides in. A real ride, a little little ride with the kids, and a little ride in the neighborhood to loosen up late night.
16 miles on the rebuild of the DB Coreflex.
First I want to celebrate that the second battery pack I built did not explode. Horay.
The gearing with 170kv 16/36 on 85 Caguamas felt great to me. Really nice and torquey.
Pretty happy to have this board back in action because it is a fun little ride with the bounciness of the deck.
Again I have to say it blue Caguamas are magical.
Later I followed the kids around the neighborhood on their little Gator. 4 miles.
Took the Wowgo with the surf adapter for that. That board is perfect if you have to wait around for kids. Just lots of carving across the street…
That’s correct, usually riding on pneumatics which is a lot more ideal for sidewalks. Around here half the riding is the street but the other half is wide windy sidewalks.
It’s been a couple years but I’m finding I miss the sound of PU in the road. At first my foot went numb but I’m keeping at it and adjusting my speed to make the most of the sidewalk divots. Sometimes if I go fast enough I can skip right over the cracks which helps a lot.
Overall I really like the TB110s but I’m still getting used to them. They are a dream on smooth ground like school parking lots though, those have been my favorite places to ride this build so far.
@DerelictRobot keeps telling me I need to run this on a closed course
