Had the privilege of riding some of the greatest guys tonight out in Elm Creek. Billy V, Dahl, Hogland, JayT, Audi TT Matt were there to tear up some double track in the ongoing quest to prep for Cheq...I am most impressed with Dahl's superfly single...I want one of those for sure but alas i have a colnago...wait...a Fauxnalgo as it has been renamed.
We met at 530 or 600 and rode for 2.5 hours mixing in the hills and trails and hill repeats and more hills. Three of us had singles the rest gears and we all hung in pretty good. I tried out the 36x16 ratio which is about 4 or 5 gear inches more than the 17t rear and on that terrain, i felt really good on the steep climbs so i will keep it on for now and see how it rides out over the next few weeks. the psi on the tubeless was about 27 or there abouts and that seemed to be good for my weight and do i ever love that carbon rigid fork...amazing.
It was great to have someone to ride with out there as usually its just me and my mp3's...its also great to have some people to chase down here and there so as to not get lazy...but i kinda like the meandering rides out there - very reflective to say the least.
Not sure about the miles but some were very hard efforts and some were casual - mix in a stop here or there for some water and we had a BLAST...so it seems that every wed at 6 we ride from the chalet until further notice.
Thanks guys for the great ride and Jay, nice to see that mt bike again..... :)
