Went out for a 60 mile training ride with a group of local trikers today. During a 30 MPH descent down the Santiago Canyon, I start to hear a strange “Thwick”,”Thwick”,”Thwick” sound with every revolution of my right front wheel. That can’t be good……
I have been to the REI store in Tustin a half-dozen times over the last week or two. It’s an easy ride from my house – just a mile or so off the Peters Canyon Trail – so I can stop by when I am out for a relaxing ride. I think today’s trip just might be the last. Today I ended up buying a pair of convertible cargo pants, a couple of fuel canisters for my stove, and a new sleeping pad.
I’ve decided it is time for a bike tour! I’m going to ride up the Pacific Coast. I’ve gone on bike tours a few time in the past – and it has always helped to clear my head and get me focused on what is to come next in my life.
