Been quite enjoying the early morning rides especially paired with it being a 4 day weekend for some meaning the roads have been super quiet. Nice 37.67 miles/60.62 km with 1989ft/606m of elevation this morning, found some newish routes on what seem like newly resurfaced roads which was nice. No pictures from that as pedalling seems to take precedence and there's also not much interesting about former mining towns that never recovered from the 80s...
Then it pissed it down all day, was about to walk to the corner shop to pick up some juice and noticed it'd stopped with the sun trying to make an appearance. Seemed a good occasion to take the Inbred out for a quick 3 mile round trip, after riding nothing but rigid bikes since September having 120mm travel on the front feels great. Also nice to not have to **** on getting kitted up and just walk out, grab the bike and go.
Someones in trouble...
Quite a fast rolling thing even on 26, half tempted to follow Novocaine's suggestion and squeeze 650bs in there. Have a set of 670mm flat bars and a single speed kit coming courtesy of various forum members, will be running at 38/16 initially, have a 42t ring kicking about somewhere too - fortunately the deckas/snail/whatever other branded chinesium rings are pretty cheap so won't be too hard to find a nice ratio mostly suited for pottering about to the shops and back, occasional singletrack etc. Wouldn't mind a set of black XT cranks and a black saddle but also think it's quite nicely matched up as it is.
