Miles
I rolled 11,000 miles on the DL on Saturday, riding down to my Mom’s.
I finally am noticing the front-end loft. I pulled 2 definitive wheelies on my ride. The first was at the top of a merge lane. In Portland, we have lots of ramps with traffic lights on hte actual ramp to throttle the flow entering the freeway. On Saturday, the lights are off. The result for me is most effort is applied to getting a good position before the lanes merge. The front wheel came up as I passed a couple SUVs. I can’t see around them, so I try to squirt around them to a place where I can see the traffic flow in front of me. The second wheelie was pulling away from a traffic light with an uphill slope. I noticed the lack of steering control and rolled off a bit.
I have orientation at PCC tonight. We’ll have to see how that goes.
