LSPR went well. The large tires worked pretty well on dry gravel but of course mud was still a bit of an issue on Menge Creek. I haven't updated the fuel log yet but did a rough calc at about 38mpg. Not bad for having no airdam.

Also, a couple bolts worked themselves loose on the way back and everything from the downpipe back fell off on the freeway up by West Branch at 7pm Sunday. I had to pull the entire thing off, break it into a couple pieces, shove it inside the car and drive the last few hours with just a header. Working on fixing that.

I have only been averaging around 10mph on my beater bike around town. This recumbent project needs to get up and running; a butt mold must be taken and we must measure my legs.

Oh yeah, and I think I do too many small road trips in the summer to get rid of my car. I don't need it around town, though.
