So with the replacement bolt-on axle on my Tinbred sorted out, and a 10mm thru axle in the box awaiting a thru bolt, and only 4 days left before the MS150, I went for my second almost ever road ride with my buddy Chris borrowing his Airborne Zeppelin.
This time we actually hit some hills and managed 29 miles in about 1:40...
Well, road riding can hurt as much as off road! Funny thing was that I had to work REALLY hard to stay with him on the flats, constantly loosing his wheel and then straining to catch up. But on the inclines I seemed to be able to pull away. Oh yeah, and downhills... Forget it! I was a chicken sh$t and he completely disappeared in the distance!
The finniest thing, tho, happened about 50 yards from the house, slight incline, Chris went for a sprint. I tried to answer, but in the haste, lack of control, wrong gear, not knowing what the heck I was doing, my cumbersome jerky power spin resulted in the rear wheel coming up, what felt like 10", off the ground and scaring a living crap out of me!!!
