I will no longer take jabs at 29'ers and their XC weenie pilots.

I rode with two phenomenal riders tonight. I'm slower, fatter, and less able than I was 2-3yrs ago. I'm going to try to steal that back. I've been busy, yo! These two dudes handed me my butt for almost 2hrs straight. I've never felt like such a beginner in my life. They were climbing crap that I didn't know was even possible. Like a freakin' chest high, super steep boulder with a vertical drop at the bottom with a log to fill the gap. I still don't know how they did that crap. They were doing chest high drops to flat.

They were doing this on Stumpy 29'ers with 1500g wheels, man. Rovals. $1700...and they were doing chest high drops to flat. I'd be afraid to destroy them daggum things.

I'm quite humbled and motivated to get out and push harder. Holy crap, man! These dudes devastated me.
