More August Riding.

Next month will be 2 years since I donated the Subaru to the Vietnam Vets. Still have not replaced my car. 

Joined the Tower Racing guys on Saturday for a brisk warmup. 

Friend Tim loaded up his Surly and headed west. Hope he had a good trip. 

August has been flower explosion time. 

Found this tag on a repair. All I can say is Lucky. 

Lots of sun in August. 

More crazy flowers.

Canal in the quiet of the morning. 

Been riding quite a bit and felt a little burned out on the weekend. I rode with a superfast road group and after about 15 miles decided to leap off and go do some hills in Lemont. I really find it relaxing to go there. I find the hill and do some repeats on it and then go to the next one. Once the legs are good and burned I hit the Polish Deli up for some water and food. I then roll home and feel good. On Sunday I took out the Carboner bike and was trying to pinpoint all the creaky areas in it. I think the BB creaks, so does the seatpost. My shit bike Bianchi from 1984 does not creak a bit. It is quiet like a panther. I hope y'all are having a good Summer. I know it is starting to wind down little by little. Time to start checking lights, pulling on arm warmers in the morning. I think this fall is going to be great. 
as always, thanks for reading.
