Summer is here, the clear blue skies that high pressure systems bring to the west coast. Some would call it a boring sky, not a cloud to be seen for days on end......
Gave me a chance to haul some freight on the Mundo and get out with the kids in the chariot.
Zipped over to the feed distributor yesterday- made it home with 5 sacks of chicken feed and a bag of dog food. 113 kilos (250 pounds) of freight on the wideloaders and rear deck. No problem. I read some posts where people pooo-poohed the Mundo hauling 330 pounds at the San Francisco food bank race- they said it couldn't be done without all of Ben's "handlers". Well, I am here to tell you that if I had a front rack I could have easily taken another 80 pounds on the front. I rode home solo with the 250 without a blink. Of course terrain would be a factor!
On the other front, getting tired of the Chariot, don't like dragging the kids behind. Working on a home-made bakfiets in the shop. Next post, perhaps.
