My Old Friend and other little weekend ramblings

So here it is Sunday morning as I start to write my weekend summary, even though the weekend isn’t completely finished yet.

My original plans this weekend, was to do some more exploring of the Forest Road I had explored a little of last weekend, but my weekends plans were cut short when on Thursday night I broke a rear spoke on the way to meet up a buddy of mine for Super Bike Night at Paddy Coynes in Seattle.

Hopefully they come in this week, as this coming weekend looks like it will be clear and warm all weekend.  This should provide a couple of really good days to go do some riding.

So many untold stories about the item, that I feel that a review is not complete until it is laid to rest at the bottom of the recycle bin or where ever it may rest. So with this thought, I plan on making this a “Running Review” of sorts.

The breakdown is simple. Read the rest of this entry »
