I rode my 86 Connie to the Starbucks nearest my house this morning to work. I work at Starbucks some days but not for Starbucks, like many people do. So when I finished up and was about to ride home to check for some mail, see who needed lunch and just generally take a break I decided to take advantage of another beautiful Southern California fall day. Yep, nearly perfect weather, so instead of riding the 1.1 miles or so to the house I took my quick loop. Out of Poway on Scripps-Poway Parkway, up 67 north to Poway Road, down the twisty portion of Poway grade then back around to the house. Only about a 13 mile detour and especially nice today. Air was crystal clear, I was the "lead vehicle" down Poway grade (yes!) and got to see the whole family at the house before lunch.
Two quick updates:
It's always going to be something keeping the 1986 on the road to 100K! Now that the electrical gremlins have been found and chased off, the old petcock seems to be seeping a small amount of fuel. Gonna fix that tonight-I've got a few extra petcocks sitting around and am low enough on gas that tilting the tank should allow me to fix it without too much mess.
The BikeBandit Daily Deal page seems to not be updating, but numerous sales continue on the site, especially helmets. Follow a banner ad from this blog and I get a small cut as an affiliate marketer, and a portion of that will go to Movember. Thanks!
