Fourth Straight Day of Road Riding
21 Apr 2009 - Eugene
Did my fourth road ride in a row, and pretty stoked. It's a rarity that I'm riding that much, although somehow over the last couple weeks that's getting more consistent! Awesome.
Intended to go out for a fairly mellow paced ride, since I'd had 3 hard days, and knew Wednesday night's mtb night ride is usually pretty solid (last few have been 3 hours at a hard pace). Did a solid pace, not full hammer, but solid. 1.5 Hours, 24 miles, 2300' of climbing, in pretty warm conditions (80+F). Enjoyable ride for sure.
Also, upon arriving home, UPS was delivering a box from Trek. I thought it was the new 29-3 rear tire from Bontrager, but to my absolutely delight, I found new 29er FR-3 tires (camera phone pic above), which are even bigger, at 29x2.35 (60/58), with aggressive tread and definitely some nice volume. Stoked! I'll be taking some real pics, comparing them to the 29-3's and also to the WeirWolf 2.55 LT's (should compare size wise), etc. Watch for my next post on that.
