The Goose is in near perfect conditions.

KB, Sir Pratt and myself happened, by total chance, to end up riding said trail yesterday. The road was a bit bumpy and had two biiig mud holes but is passable and the trail is rideable. It felt good to get out there and pedal around on the rock that I love so much. I haven’t been on the Enduro in quite some time and yesterday was the maiden voyage with the new XTR 10 speed group. The group worked like a champ, brakes even felt awesomest. Definitely better than SRAM. The 28/40 chainring combination worked nicely once I realized that my “little” ring didn’t feel too little and was actually usable. Granted I did have to shift down the cassette a ways to get it to feel good, but it did feel good.

Anyway. In other news.

The Mooseknuckler Cycling Alliance World Headquarters was the sight chosen for the last weekend of KB’s Birthmonth. We had a few folks over and had a good time around a fire. Some brews were shared and the night went nicely. At some point I even did my Kropotkin impression. I know pictures were taken but have not seen them as of yet.

Apparently some other Knucklers went riding as well. As is evident by the following video.

Looks like some fun was had. I have to say that the Mehrmobile tends to get out often and always has some sort of documenting device in tow. Oh, and by the way, it’s the Barrel “Ride” in case you were wondering where the new Barrel “Trail” was…

That’s about it for now. Other than it looks like things are going to get cold again for a few days, life is good.

P. L. and R. Just relax already…
