First Ride!

First ride of the season tonight, and I'm blown away. I crushed my previous best lap time by 20 minutes and I still had a lot of gas in the tank so to speak. This was my first chance to really get my new bike out on the trails and I can't even begin to describe how much fun it is. It just goes. Goes fast, goes where I point it, and goes up hills like a billy goat. I really REALLY like my Fu Bar handle bars . The high amount of sweep just feels so natural. It's a shame that they're so heavy (and shiny, I don't like shiny) compared to my carbon bars.

I'm just amazed at what my training during the off season has done for my ability to ride long and hard. CrossFit Endurance mayj ust be the way to go after all. We'll see in about 6 weeks when I strap in to go 100 miles in a day.

Here's the stats:

Trail/Miles: Lakeshore Park -10.44 miles. I really ought to calibrate my odometer.

Time: 56 minutes

Tires/Pressure: Rear- Rocket Ron(32psi) Front- Raven(25 psi)

Shock Pressure: +160/-150
