Route Three
Aug. 14th, 2018 11:26 amI took Froinlavin in this morning, which meant carefully re-installing its new MKS Lambda pedals. Froinlavin doesn't appreciate being as loaded down as the Jolly Roger, but managed fine.
Some of the roads that cross Albany are one-way, so the route to campus is slightly different from the route from campus. In general, the trip to campus went much more smoothly, though. I decided to try out a short detour through the Albany Rural Cemetery. What a beautiful spot. However, it isn't particularly convenient, due to a brief gravel stretch and a low chain fence, so I don't think I'll bother going through the cemetery in general.
8.3 miles in 50 minutes. The ride home yesterday was 6.78 miles - didn't note how long it took.
I am back to hobo showering in the restroom for the time being. I am also thinking I should start a Siena Bicycle Commuters Club, even if I'm the only member, heh.
I am thinking that maybe now is the time to do a total overhaul on the Jolly Roger - see if the seatpost can get unstuck, deal with the wacky shifting, maybe see about a new paint job or at least a reasonable touch-up.
