Florida Short Route Terrell County Road 120

Image
Today I took another ride on the newly paved Florida Short Route Terrell County Road 120.  After riding so many commuter miles in the dark of early morning it is refreshing to ride slowly in the daylight.  This evening's ride gave me a temperature range in the low 80's and the sun was low in the sky so the northerly route was shaded by tall pine trees.

This is what I like about living in southwest Georgia. Every once in awhile you get on a smooth road on a beautiful evening and it is just wonderful.

Beautiful downtown Sasser. 77 degrees overcast a nice breeze what a wonderful ride. Tallahassee Road is now on my best Rhodes to ride list. Tallahassee Road has nice pavement from the little small bridge all the way up to the main highway.

I am so glad that the road to faster is finally repaved. This is such a nice country road and it used to be so bumpy starting from this bridge going up to faster. Now it is smooth as butter.,

Pedal swap

Last night my right Speedplay Zero stripped off. This is the second time this has happened to me. The failed pedal has about 12,000 miles on it. I was upset due to the failure happening when I had set a milage goal for the month. I called my wife to come and get me. When I got home I remembered that I had to pair of Speedplay Frogs. These were my first clip-less pedals. I had them on my MTB for commuting in Portland and later I bought another set for my road bike. Well I swapped the pedals and road to work in my MTB shoes. I have been wanting to test them on this bike for cyclecross or gravel road rides. After  50 mile to work I am glad I did not toss them out. These Nike Nubas are about 25 years old.
