Work has slowed up for a bit so I have been able to ride just about every day for a while, It has been getting plenty hot here on the front range so today after a short work day drove 15 minutes up the pass where there are a handful or more options to trail ride, Today did some laps at Lovell Gulch in woodland park, was nice and cool like 70 degrees, Will probably do a long pasta ride in same area tomorrow combining Lovell Gulch with Rampart reservoir, and do some exploring while I at it, Its so nice to be able to escape 90 ish temps with a 15 minute drive.
Above the treeline for an evening ride today, also did pikes yesterday, and managed to find the missing bolt/springwasher/cap holding my pedal onto the spindle a bit up the trail and reassemble it. They should come stock with red locktite on the threads, have had them fall apart four different times on different pedals to the point where I dont ride without spares. Should probably just red locktite them all.
Here’s my latest version of an under $30 chest mounted pov camera. (Not including my $700 i phone 7) i hooked up this phone case with fish eye and wide angle lenses for $16 and used a 2 part epoxy for bonding plastics to build this custom mount $8. Pretty happy with it but may try the wide angle lens i stead of this fisheye this week. This is the 500 acre woodward park in Fresno where I get all of my in between rides riding done. My 51/2 yo son does a 6.5 mile loop with 500 ft of elevation gain so that’s like blowing my mind. I’m definitely day dreaming of riding road trips through Oregon and Washington in our future. Kids got no fear and keeps trying new steep drop in lines.
