Grubbied it up well today... & took home a nice souvenir! (I hear girls like scars; right?)
Ride was only about 9 miles in Whiting Ranch. Bike performed great for a vintage piece; rider sucks though. Decided Speedplay Frogs don't like mud... I couldn't clip in when I needed to, or out once I was in...and the trail was lots of ruts, stream crossings & muddy rocks. Way different from the road riding I'm used to, and probably not the best trail for a beginner mountain biker first trying out clipless pedals that don't work right... Still, a good ride and plenty of fun.
