First ride with my gear :)

"You know that feeling when you take your shoes off after a long day at work? Thats how my nuts feel right now."

These words either ruined or made the dinner for a sweet old couple that had the bad luck to be hid behind Eddie as I came out of the Stoudts Brewery after a 33 mile ride, couple beers, and changing from biking spandex into shorts. Hopefully Eddie hid my little visual performance from them as well..

6 of us hit the roads around Adamstown, PA for a beautiful little 33 mile ride yesterday as a test run for my panniers. Couple false starts but got a lot of kinks worked out in the strapping system. Put a new rear cassette on the bike to offset the lower gear selection of the double crank (should help me climb the Rockies a little easier) but the bike, rack, and legs performed great with an additional 40lbs of weight! A great confidence booster for the big trip. :)
