Re:
Thanks Pat
I'm not saying I'm jealous, but I have three Gary Fisher bikes here! Why can't he come and socialize over here! :roll:
Medium jersey and shorts next time you bump into the man
Always seems so dry over there !
You can really get a lick on when it's dry here, but when that compacted chalk gets wet, it's glacial!
No idea how much climbing I did as I don't have Strava, but seemed to go up and down a lot . I like hills!

You know, Mike, we have had a pretty wet and normal winter here this year, around 40+ inches of rain, after 4 years of drought. The thing is, there isn't a lot of flat ground where we ride our Mtb's around here, so the rain runs downhill and really only creates mud where it is flat-plus, I know the spots that get really muddy in the winter and avoid them
Today-Monday-An afternoon climb about 900' up into the hills to the West, coolish, about 66 F. and partly cloudy-which is great for climbing...

Today-Thursday-Nice out, about 78 F. and sunny. I stopped by the museum downtown on the way out and shot this pic of the Ibis Ti full sus bike. It uses the flex of the long middle tubes for the spring and travel, and the shock to dampen it. The ride today went up Tam past Phoenix Lake aways, then back down and home...

25 miles from my place to Huddersfield today, via the Pennine Bridleway and Pennine Way:
At one point I heard an almighty bang, but no adverse effect - one of my pedal cages has been bent and missing a screw for a while (as is visible), and I'd just been keeping the other 3 tight.
It randomly fired out a screw, never to be seen again :shock:
