so yesterday i got to ride a Diamond Back Mission Pro. it was good, really good. it climbed like crazy, and handled really well. and yet, i didn't like how it felt. perhaps i had the rebound set too high, it almost felt like a hardtail, even though i used almost all of the 160mm of travel. it felt rickety, like it was gonna fall apart, i felt the rocks and bumps a bit more than i should have for a 160mm 27.5" wheeled $6,000 bike.
but i rode it and i had a great day because i was out riding a bike.
had a pretty decent day at work, ate waaaaaay too much, then this evening went for a ride on the Solo. the weather was absolutely perfect, could not have been better. had a pretty kick ass ride and i felt pretty good despite being super tired and not really wanting to ride.
tomorrow we are going down to moab to ride the majority of the enchilada, not the whole enchilada, but the majority of it. we are gonna start at hazard, and pretty much do hazard down. I shall ride the Slayer, and by Odin's good eye it will be awesome. afterwords we may bar-b-q, we may eat at milts, we may eat elsewhere, or we may just come home and eat and drink and party like it's on sale for 19.99. no matter what, we are gonna ride bikes and have a kick ass time.
and so...yeah, that's what's been up lately.
