Windmills

I got up this morning, had my two wonderful cups of coffee that Emily makes with such excellent technique, then installed my new CRG levers.  I was planning on a ride this afternoon, so after the installation, I did a quickie ride around the block to see how they felt and to make sure the angles and reach were the way I like it.  Everything checked out.
Being a little short on time, I decided to do a short ride, just to get some turns in.  I haven't done Patterson Pass for about a year, so that's what I chose.

I got in my leathers and off I went.  This route is great for testing out changes that I've made on the Wrath, since there's a bit of everything on the ride- city streets, freeways and twisties.
The bike ran excellent and the new levers felt like I've been using them for years.
All-in-all, it was a nice ride.  Only one car got in front of me, but he waved me by.  The view of the windmills from the top of the pass is awesome.  The temperature was 82 degrees and the sun was out.  It got a little windy coming back over the pass, but not too bad.
