Just a short, quick ride on the tandem tonight. I'm feeling pretty good, even if I have worked 22 hours in the last two days. Some time ago, I purchased a new set of glasses. Why, well I dropped my old glasses during STP and the RX frame broke allowing the lens to fall out. I did a five minute stop in a 7-11. I purchased super glue and fixed glued the frame back together. My criteria for my new glasses was... 1) Lightweight 2) RX capability 3) interchangeable lens I found what I needed in the Bolle Parole. In addition, I can remove the shaded lens and use the RX insert alone. This is nice for riding in the dark. I have decided to use the Camelback on Knoxville. Mainly because I can carry more Gu and Cytomax. On another matter, the local paper has endorsed my friend, and fellow Salem Bicycle Club member Hersh Sangster for Keizer City Council. Woohoo.
