A Tip of the Hat to Electro Automotive
No work on the car today, but I did receive a set of drawings from Mike Brown of Electro Automotive that showed details of a set of battery boxes and support frames for a Bradley GT II conversion that he had performed back in 1982. These will be very interesting to study and perhaps use as a model for my new sub-frame. Thanks Mike!
I rode the Red Rock Loop twice (bicycle), along with a trip down to SR 160, solo, on Saturday. This was a 68-mile ride with about 5400 feet of climbing. It was the first time I had ever ridden the red Rock Loop Road twice in one day. I chose to do this instead of riding in the Tour de Summerlin which was also held today. the Summerlin ride has gotten just too expensive ($50-$60) and, as far as I can tell, the money doesn’t support a charity — it just goes to the race promotor and the Homeowners Association. Sunday was sort of a recovery day.
