Tandem Summer - Day 1

The Fandango rode well. Very smooth, almost too smooth, and tires almost too knobby, we did end up rolling through out old Alameda stomping ground route at 31 miles. Lots of 13-15 mph, but more
comfortable the whole time.

It felt good to get some dirt on it - we rode some of the fire trails and cowpaths along the Bay Farm Island bike paths, the bike just ate it up.

Cut down the bars for stoker and captain, replaced stokers saddle with one identical to her
other rig and we will go for Tandem Summer Day 2 tomorrow. Forgot to check the shock pressure, take note - huge travel, very plush at the moment.

That might be it, "All summer in 2 days" (see Ray Bradbury).


Other fleet news, the Scott 29er is coming home soon from Beyond Aero. Some chainring damage making noise, but nothing urgent, the hanger was bent but did not need replacing, the wheel got dished (I assume), but the big deal was the mechanic found the chain passing on the wrong side between the freewheel guide - 100+ miles (race and previous 2 weeks of riding) the chain was on the wrong way. Hate to think of the wasted energy - its lucky I didn't saw the guide off.
