The lead has to be Thanks to Steve and Micha for joining me on a ride while visiting Bend. We had a great ride up Ben's trail to the helicopter pad and then a joyous, riotous, rockin' ride down Storm King and Grand Slam. A good time had by all and no injuries.
The basic Bend report is simply "wow." Still getting used to the dry, sandy soil, but the sight distances, open trail, and banked corners are already a lock. The bike is in need of a new drive train which was scheduled for today, but the small front ring is out of stock. Substitute due in next week. A short ride with Suzanne tonight was good until I had trouble clicking in to the right pedal. I looked down and saw this: ok, can't get a photo to load from the I-pad. Visualize looking down T shoe with pedal attached - to the shoe, not the bike. Managed to limp around fornthe rest of the ride, but now need to add pedals to the repair list.
More than anyone cares to hear about I am sure. Loving Bend and the trials. Missing my riding buddy(s). Give a shout if you are headed this way and we'll dial in a ride.
