Toxic now has a new owner, my friend Rick Jackson, who I know will look after Toxic like I did and enjoy the freedom of the road. I am so sorry to lose Toxic which has been a good, reliable friend to me. I just hope that Buzzer is as good over the long haul.
I zipped out to order decals for the repainted helmets, then I had to return my favourite helmet for repair to the paint which chipped off in transport in the luggage carrier. Hopefully all will work out shortly.
I also ordered an alarm from one of my Herederos buddies. I should have grabbed the one he had in his hand last week because now I have to wait while he orders me another one.
I decided to join the Herederos ride tonight and try to stick it out. I took a Tylenol before the actual ride to counteract the inevitable shoulder pain. That worked.
Our first stop was to the home tailor shop where we had our jackets made. Now the order of business was to get pants made for riding of the same material with several pockets. This is certainly a good move, to have a completely windproof and waterproof suit for riding. A couple of guys already had these pants but we made a couple of changes to the location of the pockets. I certainly didn't want pockets at the bend of the knee.
Then we continued up to nearby Banos where everyone had a bite to eat from the street vendors across from the blue church. I did not eat, being a good boy on my diet, because Cristina had filled me up with delicious lasagna for a late supper.
I slipped away from the group and took the Autopista home, where it was surely tempting to open up Buzzer and see what he has to offer... but again, I was a good boy.
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement. Cheers, Al
