That Was Awesome

I was about to head out on a solo ride the other day, but heard that Jeff was into doing a big single-speed ride. I had planned on doing a shorter hard ride on my road bike. So I compromised and decided it would be cool to do a big, mountain bike, single-speed, hard, duel sport ride. SAY WHAT?

Well, it was a doosie. We rode from town, single speeds spinning a lot, then hit Hopkins Gap on our way to a favorite route - the murderous Big Bear Loop. It was Jeff's sick idea to tackle this course on single speeds. NASTY. OUCH. This normally tough 70-mile ride with almost 9,000 feet of climbing was made much harder by a nice layer of thawing frost and clay mud, which brought back La Ruta flashbacks.

Hey, speaking of stage races, whats the deal YO? I need to know, is this all hype or do people really want to do more stage races?

Look for a survey coming soon!

Anyhow, the gist of this ride recap is that it hurt.

Good riding with you,
JB

Quality over quantity is what it will take to win the race with the funny colored rings. :)
Besides that sure beat road riding out for excitement.
