Prepping for a long ride
2nd week of September, my work will move from Dexter to Ann Arbor. This takes me from a 12-15 mile trip to a 25 mile one way trip to work.
I've moved back to my hybrid/foul weather/winter bike - it's upright and until I feel confident on the roads there, I'd prefer an upright stance. I've moved my best lighting system to it, gotten fresh batteries, and I just ordered a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires. They're kind of expensive but they supposedly are nearly bulletproof and wear for many thousands of miles.
