Bikes: Mostly 1st-generation, top-of-the-line, non-unicrown MTBs/ATBs: All 1984 models: Dawes Ranger, Peugeot Canyon Express, Ross Mt. Whitney (chrome), Schwinn High Sierra, and a 1983 Trek 850.

42 miles on the Sakatah / Singing Hills Trail today. I rode my Fuji 3-speed city bike conversion, because it is the perfect bike for a rail trail like this, and I wanted to test out the new V.O. Milan handlebar. I did this mod because I can't find a setback seatpost in the 26.2mm size for this bike, so I moved the grips forward instead. It helped some, but now I've got the numb hands/sore wrists again. At least my back didn't complain this time. I'm going to keep the bike like this for a while, it seems to handle better because I am more balanced within the wheelbase instead of perched over the rear wheel. The bag/rack combo is going onto my Light Roadster project this winter, and the Fuji will get a smaller set.

Since I concentrated more on riding than photography today - to be honest, there isn't a lot to shoot along this trail - here is the only decent photo I shot:
