Slate Range Fat Ride Shakedown

Test ride on the new frame. 9 ZERO 7 135 slider they call it. Pugsley stuff swapped over. 1×10 drive. BB7’s are now replaced with hydraulics. Had a Husker Du on the front but it did not hold up in the rocks. Sidewall succumbed to the Mojave. Switched back to the perhaps slightly more robust and heavier 27 tpi Larry’s. Scale reads between 30 and 32 pounds.

Tanks for the help

Dad came up for a couple days. Survived the “guest house”. Helped plumb in Phase One of the water fiasco, er, project. Progress was made despite our best efforts.

Searles Valley Flower Show

Upper Searles Valley Flower Tour. Once a year. Get out there before the Tortoises do.

Stop. Smell.

To eat the flowers.

The answer to the question: Why’d the Tortoise cross the road.

It became obvious.
