Rader Rides

Can't make it Wed AM, but not because of the cold. I'll be working. I will ride in the afternoon at 2:00. For those that don't like the cold, you're welcome to join me. I'll be at Lone Jack at 2:00.

New Years Day I'll be there at 8:30.....Sat. the 3rd at 8:00

This past Saturday, I missed Dean the Machine and Johnny Yuma. I was bit late, but that worked out because I had to stop at B and L because my chain was binding. I learned that I should NOT hose off my bike to clean it. Soap and water get into the bearings and dry them out. Use a damp rag with Simple Green or a degreaser----never free water, unless you have your very own full time mechanic to take everything apart everytime you hose it off!

After they repacked my rear bearings, it was better than new. It felt so good I rode to Seaport Village, back by Sea World, through La Jolla, up John Morrison hill and home. 70 miles. I did stop for a hot chocolate and scone at Starbucks by the old Naval Training Center....it was cold! Didn't go fast, but went long.

Have a great week.

John
