Kilauea’s turn for a bimble today.

I was hunting for the sunset and dwelling to the clouds

Had to ride the Wife's bike to the trailway where she then took over.
I know he made good frames,but rolling stock ! Patina ?

Late-afternoon spin on my mate's Kona Jake (which I'm fettling for him -- gotta test it, right?). Chilly but bright, nice bit of dirt-road cruising. Sun was well on the way down by the end of it -- at about 3:30pm. Beautiful day though.

27km, about 250m climbing.

Somehow, I got it in my head that I'd like to try a 29-er, and that some front suspension might be nice again, and, above all, that modern MTB geometry sure does look comfy. Actually, I know it's comfy: I had a 650b MTB a few years ago. Anyway, when a 2015 RockHopper 29-er was recently advertised locally for a very tempting price, I got it. It needed a bit of work, and it sure wasn't kitted out with high end bling, but, as a way to try out 29-er-ing, it looked decent. Today's ride was its first proper outing.






Impressions: climbs very well (but it has a very low bottom gear), very comfortable, a bit slow. I'll do some riding on it over the summer and then decide what to do with it.

Bit further today, still more tarmac bimble than proper riding, but the Bizango seemed to like it.

 

[Southville Hop]

Busy day, so cycling had to wait until 22:00Hrs

Really enjoyed that ride, the darkness of the woods made it feel as if I was going at a hundred miles an hour!

"Light speed" achieved!

We set off on a leisurely tour today

We won't go quite that far

When my wife parks the bikes

As the weather got worse and worse, we made a detour to the fastest rollerblade track in the world. Of course I had to test it....

Now I need new trousers...
