Yep, what you said. The temps around me aren't as hot in the summer, but the humidity makes it feel way, way worse. I'll say that having ridden in 100F+ temps in a dry climate for comparison.

And yeah, I'll still be posting up some ride reports later in winter when it's down to single and teen digit days. :)

No worries if it's a bit warm - it's still a beer I had on the trail hough having icewater in the thing is nice in general when the temps and humidity out here get beyond a certain point.

He rode a MTB.

Majestik 09-27-09 07:51 PM

Oh. For some reason I thought he was riding with a bunch of roadies.

ed 09-27-09 08:14 PM

He prob. was...he was "representing for the MTB's"...meaning he was showing skinny tired drop-bar cru that fat tire freaks can spin with the best of 'em.

For some of us, those are our XC bikes.

As I've just found out, mountain biking is like a lot of things in life: Everything goes great until you hit that proverbial wall. Only with mountain biking, that wall is really a tree, and that tree is far from proverbial. . . cranksets get damaged, helmets get gouged, and left wrists get re-injured.

The crankset part doesnt matter as I ordered one last night.

Here we are at the entracne to Cindarella yesterday. Did two runs and a little suspension tuning.

What you can't see so easy in the picture is my gorrilla tape tubless setup! It worked great.



Now about today's ride...

I was spinning my way down to the coffee shop on a damned paved bike path... i attempted a "maneuver"... gorrilla tape tubless failed me and front tire blew off the rim. I did fall. There were witnessess. The kind who say "o my god are you okay?".

Lesson learned. single ply folding tires and non-ust rims running tubeless not the best choice for certian "maneuvers". Somewhere in my head I already knew this.

I've taken "head knowledge" and made it "scab knowledge" by stupid living.
