Single Speed Again

As the MTB race season comes to an end, I've decided to get the RIG out on the trails and work these legs into shape, along with the rest of me. After riding tonight, it came to me that it should have never been put aside this season. Looking forward, my plans are to ride it for the Sheboygan race and possibly in Shawano too. We'll see if I can keep riding this next week and feel comfortable enough to race it next weekend. The thing I miss the most about this bike is the 29 inch wheels. Part of the trails we rode tonight were a little rough as they haven't seen many riders, but the bike sure rode over the logs, bridges, branches, roots and in and out of gullies nicely. We were out with about 8 guys from Metro/Hayes and Extreme. The ride started at 6 and we finished at 8. Only one, well actually two flats on one of the guys bikes back to back. Other than that, it was a beautiful evening to get out and ride. Much better than being a couch potato....
