Wooly S240

    We went on a S24O to Wooly Hollow this past weekend, as planned. The weather was great!  The wind wasn't that bad, it has been a lot worse.  There was a little bit of a sprinkle, but wasn't enough to get anything wet.  It was just a really good trip. 
     As for the new gear, everything worked perfectly.  Anthony's Surly Nice rack is so strong and stable.  His new Novara Safari bike rode like a Cadillac, one the old ones.  He thinks it actually rides better loaded.  Yes it's heavy, but it's not race.  It's about taking our time, seeing the scenery.  Oh, the strangest thing I saw this weekend, a light blue toilet seat on the side of the road.  Never know what you will see on a bike.
     The solar charger did better than I thought it could ever do.  Charged my phone on the way over, while running Map My Ride app.  In camp I charged my Light and Motion Urban 550.  Anthony charged his phone the next day on the way home.  The rides were about two hours long, so it didn't have a lot of time to charge.  I was impressed.
     The new rack pack by Ortlieb was really handy.  Made packing and loading a snap.  I just need a better rack.  I did modify the bottom connections after getting back, it should be better next time.
It will be nice to get a front low rider rack, but that's next month.
     I am sure Wooly Hollow will be our go to campsite.  It's the perfect distant at 24 miles.  Just the right amount of hills.  Subway along the way, if we go through Quitman.  Now, how do we get other people to join us?
