Today's Ride

Re:

Hey Minifreak, don't be jealous, come out to California and ride it for yourself-I think you will enjoy the experience :) Over the last 7-8 years, about a half dozen fellow Retrobikers have come to Marin and gone on rides with me, and you are cordially invited to do the same! Today-Wednesday-About 70 F. this afternoon after the skies cleared-rode the climb up Iron Springs road to the West of town today. about 900' climb...

Pleasant little ride yesterday evening. Everything going green. Started down there as usual. Stripped off the guards and put on summer tyres.

Re:

What size and kind of tires are those, THM-Maybe Small Block 8's? They look pretty smooth-wouldn't work that well around here, too dusty and slippery :) -we use fairly large knobbys-my front is a 2.4 Schwalbe Nobby Nic and my back one is a Schwalbe 2.25 Racing Ralph-both set up Tubeless. Today-Thursday-Warmer, in the low 70's F.-Rode up 1000' or so to the South-towards Mt. Tam into the Water District and it's lakes...

Good spot, SB8s in 29x2.2. First ride was OK with a little slippage but fine on dry hard pack. Will see how they go on the loose stuff. Also have a pair of Rocket Rons to try.
 
Today was fun. Went looking for a little local colour:

Unfortunately I took a wrong turn and found some brown. Bigger than he looks.
