Default First ride of the year.

8 speed seems to be the widest available now. They do seem to work fine on my SunTour six speed freewheels. Silver and black seem to be the colours out there.


I keep forgetting to stop by and tell them that the bike shifts much
better than it used to.

I usually sprint through the village on the way back -- not a good
place to overtake, and I don't need to save anything for later by then
-- so I'm past the Trailhouse before I think of it.

Saying that makes me wonder why I have no trouble leaving the village
when there isn't a festival going on. I think it's because people
prefer to park on the inbound side so that they don't have to cross
the street to get to the businesses, so on the outbound side the
parked cars are in two tight clusters and I can pull over to let
people by.
