Father's Day Family Bike Ride, PDC, Cycle Parts Order, Sled Hose Repair, X-Alps - Sunday

Yesterday morning was mellow as I watched the quarter finals of the world darts championship and got my post written. The boys were up later and @stryeyz wanted to soak before we went on our ride. I got my clothes washed and hung on the line to dry.

It was about 10:30am when we got on the road and headed up to the lake.

It was crazy busy with people EVERYWHERE. The park us insanely popular now, especially on the weekends. All the updates have made it much nicer and with all the people around now it's less likely to have weirdo creeps stalking around.

We rode around the lake and then up by my bouldering areas. We stopped at on e of the new gazebos for a short break for R. We then rode back out of the park and then went off through the neighborhood. We got to the main rode and then had to ride along it for about half a mile to get to Perry to head south. J is more than able to keep up with me and R and @stryeyz were rolling the same speed. We made it home in under an hour and a half and I got in 10.36 miles thanks to all of the circling I did while waiting.

We got home in time to watch the final match which was OUTSTANDING! One of the better matches I have seen and the best doubles. Rock and Gurney were on fire but Price and Clayton held their own and took it to the last leg final. Northern Ireland won their first ever world's.

I have been wanting different tires for my bike, the knobbies are just a pain on the asphalt and I am wanting to do much longer rides this summer, 50+ miles. I got these tires coming tomorrow which should be a nice upgrade. I also have a couple bike computers coming for my and J's bike so we aren't trying to look at our watches for speed and distance.

After calling my father I got to work on the sled. In the end I had to go get hose clamps and a 90 at North 40 to make the hose fit right. I could have snaked it around but this fits much better. It took a bit to figure out to put the hose on either metal side THEN fit the 90 to the hoses.

I also swapped out the fuel filter since the other one was likely the original. refilled fluids and the thing purrs now.

In light of the issues that have happened I grabbed a crate and am using that in the trunk of the sled to hold 3 gallons of water, oil, and other fluids.

Got a soak in while the boys piled their stuff into studio A for their campout/sleepover/whatever.

X-Alps is going on and their site is a insane memory hog, bogs the browser down massively.

Today I have work around the farm to get done, J has a birthday party to go to at the lake this afternoon, I'll keep tabs on X-Alps, install the computers on the bikes, and rebuild my med kit for flying.

This day is special for all of us, so we should definitely gift our parents something special that will make their day special and let them know that their children love them.
