Loaded for Bear

On our way to Cranksgiving, Corinna took her dog grooming gear to donate to a peer support center that hooks people up with service animals. It was easily over a hundred pounds of stuff.


The load wasn't stable because of the dryer making it top-heavy, and about a mile from home it shifted and slipped and we had to adjust things. She was going to put the dryer on her front rack, which would have worked, but it was easier just to put it on my back rack to get it the rest of the way there.


It was a heavy dryer, too: going down a hill I realized it felt pretty fast and looked down to see I was doing 33 mph on a hill I might normally hit about 25 on. Lots more weight without much more drag.
