Tiny Ride Today.
A Pootle round the Paths on the Spirit.
After the last adjustment ride on the Spirit I needed a couple more laps to fine tune it. With all the recent wind and rain there was a lot of leaf litter about which made the local paths interestingly slippery in places.
There was rather a lazy wind which wanted to go straight through me so instead of following the lanes I decided to follow the local paths for the shelter from the high fences.
Today I would rather risk sliding about than be a test pilot for the wind chill factor.
The Spirit was noticeably more agile in the tight spaces with its small wheels than the Rans, and its suspension bounded over the bumps very satisfactorily. There was good knee clearance too when in the nadgery bits. The bars didn’t make any contact at all. I need to see what can be done with the Rans in that department.
Although it doesn't have the presence of the Rans, it is quite fun to ride.
Distance 2.11 miles. Max Speed 13.1 mph. Average 5.5 mph. According to Garmin.
Ascent 63 ft. According to Bikehike.
