RAAM Tweets are the best Reply

Schwalbe Kojak Tires ordered 11
Placed an order for 3 Schwalbe Kojak Tires from Nanda at Spin Cyclz [dealer from which I purchased my RANS Citi Frameset]. The top tire below is for the 700c rear wheel and the bottom for the two 16” front wheels. This decision is based on the recommendations I received from Gregory McLean [BROL Member ~ The Hipster]. Of course the new “feet” are for Silk [My Catrike 700], as I prepare her to be faired.

It appears from SPOT that Mr. Giraldo stopped some 30 miles from Austin along HWY 50. It seems he’ll have that distance to cover tomorrow to make Austin. Two OKs have been sent from SPOT, one at 6:10 p.m. PDT and another just over 3 hours later. The events do not fit his riding pattern. I’ll post more as soon as I know more. There is nothing to indicate problems.
