TIRES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE NEW ROAD TIRES I HAD PUT ON MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN BOTH THE COMFORT OF THE RIDE AND THE HANDLING OF THE BIKE ITSELF ON PAVEMENT///////I HAD SCHWALBE MARATHON WITH KEVLAR LINERS PUT ON WHILE I WAS IN NORTH CAROLINA AND THE INCREASE IN COMFORT AND SPEED IS AMAZING/////////SUDDENLY AN 80 MILE RUN IS VERY EASY AND I WAS BIKING AT 7000 TO 8000 FOOT ELEVATION SO THE AIR WAS THIN COMPARED TO THE LOW COUNTRY......
TODAY I WILL RIDE A LOCAL TRAIL ALONG THE VERDE RIVER, AND HOPEFULLY GET SOME MORE NICE PICTURES.

He's Gone!

But not forgotten. That will take years of therapy to accomplish.

Seriously it was an awesome pleasure to have Cougina's company for the past five weeks. The spiritual growth I have had the benefit of is incalculable. Got to love this old character, I do.

Blessed be and Be green,
Alan
