Took the GT6 out yesterday for the first time this year for a spin of
more than just around the block(s). It was for a critical item too,
a beer run, for a round trip of 4 or 5 miles. I keep forgetting just
how much it likes to accelerate intentionally. Success was achieved
by returing home with Harpoon IPA. Electronic fuel injection? Bah!
I'll take carbs.
Did a 30 mile bicycle ride with the Charles River Wheelmen this
morning on my old Raleigh Carlton Gran Sport. It doesn't accelerate
as quickly as the GT6 but the gas mileage is very much better! I
finished in 2hrs 8 mins, not bad for my longest ride in 25 years.
Reynolds 531 may be "vintage" but it still works. Carbon fiber?
Bah! Skip the protein, I have a few more carbs please.
