urban explore/shake-down ride on the 'birds. mine got new DK tires and rotors, and needed to test new Garmin set-up. tires and rotors great. Garmin not great. the 920XT will not charge and record/navigate at the same time (like the 810 will). so for DK I will use 2 920s (mine and Erl's) to last for the whole race.
it was really hot and our route was pretty fussy w bike paths, tourists, lots of stoplights, etc. we stopped a bunch, including lunch w margaritas, Busch Stadium to buy tix for my dad, visiting the Stan Span & the Arch, and nitrogen ice cream. and a few assorted nav stops and bike adjustments. so not a ton of miles covered but plenty of heat exposure that should help us next weekend.
