So Kelso was disappointing
Posted by falconX on July 9th, 2011 filed in Day To DayI didn’t post this yesterday cause after I got home, cooked diner and showered I decided it was time to pass out. Kelso was disappointing to say in the least, sure there’s some good trails, but most of the stuff is too rocky, technical, and not nearly wide enough for someone on a 29er without a full suspension. I was in pain when I got home, I don’t really need to explain why…
I don’ think I’ll be going there again, unless I get a full suspension 26er bike, because it just wasn’t fun. I have video, lots of it, I just have to edit, sequence, add audio, and transcode, and then I’ll upload it, maybe I’ll get to it Tuesday…
I’ve also made the decision I’m going to ride after work now as much as I can. I’m going to start pushing myself to ride harder, and faster with FAR fewer breaks. I’ve got a 6.5k track that is pretty fun, and has a lot of flats, as well as some up and down http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/sWUDqWHaF-w. I figure I can probably get the time down on that without a hell of a lot of effort over the next few days at the very least. Having better brakes will make the ride easier too, that way I don’t have to wrench on my fucking handles to slow down. Oh yeah, my brakes showed up yesterday as I was walking out the door to head to Kelso, so I’ll be installing those Tuesday morning, hopefully my fork shows up early next week too so I can get that sucker set up… mmm 120mm of travel and fully adjustable, can’t wait for that manitou to be on my bike.
Anywho, thats enough for now, I’m gonna go to bed, gotta go to work in the morning again
[Edit] Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, fuck software upgrades… That is all…
