My weekly ride plans came to a screeching halt once I put the key in the ignition of the A4 on Monday after work....no headlights, turn signals, or air conditioning....Dropped it off to the shop thinking, this should be a cheap fix...probably just an alternator....never that easy with Audi...quote of a 1000 bucks for ignition wiring and fixing a rough sounding flex pipe...Car is worth keeping around for another year or two though.
So, shared wife's car today and managed to get a ride in with Fil. He seemed pretty pumped to ride...me...not so much. Was feeling tired..That quickly dissipated once we got off rolling out to the East. The old Fil was back...after 5 k into the ride...pacelining began and didn't stop for up to 25 k in...laughed at our growing desire to hammer from the get go and stay in the big ring on any and all climbs no matter HOW much it hurts. Enjoyed listening to the groans of fil loading up his bike and getting into his car after this hammer fest. Stats are two fold as I hit the stop button by accident after 44 k.
