Made it out last Wed with the Bike Tech boys. Paul Chris and myself were the lucky ones. We headed to Ulrich Park for a quick spin around the loop. Met a nice couple with a nice dog. Nobody got bit. The trails were in pretty good condition considering all the rain of late. The lower sections was not good enough to enjoy. A little too soggy. We then headed over to Lookout Park for a couple of hill climbs. That was fun! My first run up it I just mashed on the pedals with an almost anger raged effort. I noticed towards the top that my rear rotor was starting to rub. Turns out with that wreckless effort all of the force caused my rear hub to loosen. I was pretty cooked once at the top. We then regrouped and headed around the loop that Chris had to navigate and then headed back for hill climb #2. I went at it with a little less effort and focused more on a nice out of the saddle climb. I stayed more relaxed and spun better circles. I felt that I made it up quicker and had more energy. I was actually able to talk at the top wothout having to wait and catch my breath. We headed for home after that. I think we logged a little less miles than I wanted to but there were plenty of good efforts exerted.
Good times...
