The northern Knucklers did a ride this morning of the pavement variety. A good two hour jaunt was just what I needed to see how the new, borrowed steed would feel. I actually was quite impressed. It fits me great is really smooth and climbs like a mountain goat, although there wasn’t very much climbing. We did a loop that is called the Little Pyrenees. By it’s namesake, I expected some great climbs but was let down. We sprinted up some inclines but nothing that I would call a climb. For the area we must have ridden all the flat ground out there.

Things here at the shop have been hopping and bouncing and doing other things as well. All in all, I am busy.

I think I’m going to get one of these. The riding up here is great for 29′r’s so we are pushing them here at the shop and what better than a company devoted to their existance. Plus it will lighten mine up significantly.

Pedal damn it!
