[QUOTE=jan nikolajsen;11529806]Yesterday Sonja, Bjorn and I rode up in the mountains from town, taking a dirt road that climb from 4000' to 8000' in 16 miles. Then, after some scenic, not too steep wandering we finally hooked up with a smoothly paved descent right back to the start.
To make this post C&V eligible Sonja rode her 1976 Gazelle Champion Mondial with the 650a wheel conversion. She only had to walk through a couple of rough spots, and off course smoked us MTB'ers on the 13% paved downhill ride.
Jan, unbelievable weather going on out here apparently. I'm temporarily in Pocatello, ID. Sonja's bike is the set-up I'm looking to build. Although the weather seems to be changing quickly. Maybe I should be looking for a MTB. Anyway, while your out there, maybe you could find my long lost cousin Kristin Horn. That's not here name know, but she married a newspaper guy and last I heard, lived in Moab. Nice area, maybe I should move here too.
