Country bike in the country

We were able to get out on the bikes for a few hours on Sunday. Trying to get some miles in the legs for the upcoming charity rides. Cycle For Independence and Bob LeBow being two of our favorites. 43 miles in the desert south of town. Stacy turned off for home and I continued up towards Bogus Basin. At the turn-off for the Corrals trail, Chief decided he wanted to go offroad. We ended up doing the entire loop, crossing 8th Street and finishing up on the Crestline Trail
Chief did fine, shod as he is with Panaracer 700 x 32 tires and Honjo fenders. Some of the rocky, bumpy and steep descents were taken slowly, but overall there was nothing that really required any suspension, let alone a full suspension bike.

  1. I like a bike that's just like me, happy to slip on a pair of heels and go to the Ballet or lace up a pair of waffle stompers,bathe in the lake, and eat out of a foil bag that I've packed on my back.
