I changed the tire pressure on “Metamorphosis” (the mountain bike) on yesterday’s ride on Brown. I lowered it from 60psi to 55psi. It doesn’t sound like much, but it made a huge difference. Traction was way better on the sandy sections and I could even lean the bike over in the turns with confidence as I descended. Dare I try 50psi?
Of note up on the mountain: girls are everywhere! In the last couple of months there has been a great increase in the female biker population on Brown. I think they may even out number the guys now. Interesting trend. Wouldn’t exactly mind if it continued…

Awesome! I'll keep my eye out for you guys (won't be there for the pasta feed, though.) I'll be the guy wearing too many bracelets. Thanks for dropping by the blog.

Did not know you were down with Catra. She is cool as hell.
Anyways that is sweet you have some eye candy on your rides. I never run into hot ladies while up in the mountains. Well actually I never run into anyone.
