It's getting hot in here..........

Seeing scar ride bare-handed on Sunday got me motivated to do some sewing & update from my Homeless Guy Pogies V1.0 to a fashionable set of insulated bar mitts. Sliced up an old Goodwill-bound jacket the other day & started experimenting. Since it was getting warm down here, PBRMe! & I headed out to Meyer Ranch for a quickie this morning.

Looks almost acceptable

I put a kid's wheel on the back today.

Sunn Doublewide w/WTB Weirwolf 2.5" on the rear. Same 20t cog I push on my wagon wheel, so should be a touch easier, but factor in the more than 2# of extra weight added in the swap...it evened out on the climbs. I did end up with some really low pressure tho.

Stay on the hard-pack....or else.

I pulled a Superman when I came into a switchback way too hot and my front wheel the deep stuff, instantly stopping & catapulting me over the front.....good times!

Kevin enjoying the sunshine.

We're outta here.

It was in the high-40s, so today wasn't a good test. My bare hands were sweating pretty good, and I need to make some minor adjustments, but I believe I'm finally ready for the cold weather.
