Which Bike Final

A while back I asked the community which bike I should ride in this weekend’s JBK Haleiwa Metric Century ride. The choices were to ride either my Bike Friday NWT, my Rivendell Quickbeam, or my newer Rivendell Hunqapillar.
The Quickbeam won out by one vote. One.
Final Tally Which Bike
So I’ll be riding the QB. I’d pretty much figured that was going to be the bike based on the early voting but as you can see by my prior post it was 16 to 16 till very near the end when a final vote tipped the balance to the QB.
I’ve been riding the QB a lot recently, upping my mileage every week for the last few weeks to over 100 this week and adding hills I don’t normally ride into my routine. I should be good to go – the JBK is mostly flat, wind being more of factor most of the time. We’ll see.
I did this ride on my QB back in 2010 with a lot of excess baggage (to keep stuff from being stolen at my teen spirit). It was great, especially the extra miles I had to ride on top of the 100 kilometers. This time should easier. I’m older, but probably stronger, my bike is few pounds lighter (no luggage) though I’m not (though I’m not heavier either).
So thanks for voting and letting me know which bike I should be riding.
Aloha! Bob
