It just isn’t summer without a ride or two up to Kelley Point Park
I wanted to go by Blue Moon Camera to pick up a new lens for the *istDS, and I figured that since I was already up there it would be foolish to waste the opportunity to continue on up to Kelley Point Park, then loop over to the airport and return home via the i205 bike path & the Springwater Trail. (~42 miles from downtown to Westmoreland, which is only about 37 miles longer than the direct route, and once I cleared Kelley Point I had nothing but side and tailwinds all the way down to the Springwater Trail. Not as fast as yesterday, but I was riding more cautiously to avoid launching the inadequately restrained Pentax to its doom on the pavement.)
Riding 40-50 miles a day + 8 hours of work is probably not sustainable, but it’s nice to get out on the line after sitting in a cubicle for 8-9 hours. When I get over 1000 miles for the month I’ll cut back, I promise.

It’s a dynamo headlight which will eventually migrate up to the porteur rack I’m going to braze up for the bicycle.
Cool. I had no idea it was practical to mount the headlight right out at the fork end like that.

So, what is that thing on the front hub?
