*squeak squeak*

Just getting ready for Amerivespa next month ...

Finally got the 4k service last month which was few hundred miles overdue. Also had my [front] disc brake and calipers sanded. They were looking really shiny which means there was dirty stuck on it- most likely dust got grinded into it coming down the mountain on that fire road ride last June. Sanding it down brought it back to dull. Alas, the squeak was gone! Oh yeah, my exhaust was missing a screw too!

A few of us went for a ride over the weekend. Pretty quick and simple, slightly technical. One of my usual routes - Behind Stevens Creek Reservoir, up Redwood Gulch Road, up Hwy 9, across skyline, then drop down Old Page Mill Rd into Palo Alto. For the most part, it was smooth. There were a few dark patches of gravel and dirt along Redwood Gulch and a few around some hairpins on Old Page Mill. Not too many other bikes out, though we did see a group pulled over by CHPs where Hwy 9 meets Skyline.

30 days .. Oh my!
